Early racing engines

Does anyone know more about the 1913 Chalmers engine in the Speedway Museum ?

A DOHC six, three years before the 1916 Sunbeam ? With enclosed valve gear. Does anyone know what kind of tappets it has ?

I love the gear drive set-up for the cams! That's
not just engineering....it's artwork!

It looks too nice to me for 1913. Another Peugeot copy no one remembers ?
