Less parts than a modern car has in its A/C system, I bet.

 

Thank you,,that has brightened my day,,

 

I personally do not care for colorized pictures. There is just something cool about the old black and white photos. Besides much of the time the color isn't all that good.

 

The Austrian Puch's had an interesting engine design. The 175 and 250cc were nicknamed
"twingles"(for those who don't know) due to an odd arrangement whereby both pistons
shared the same connecting rod, by use of a unique sort of rocker connector, and moved
in tandem up and down in twin cylinder barrels, which were arranged one in front of the
other, and shared a common combustion chamber! I will try to attach an article that shows
how it worked. They were 2 cycle engines with a very smooth torque curve.
