It's not particularly efficient or modern, dating back to the mid-1930's at least, possibly further. Between the nail-head intake and the shrouded exhaust valve, the design doesn't make a lot of sense, at least to me. Maybe the designers had some specific purpose in mind, but whatever it was isn't immediately apparent. No, it definitely isn't a "Compound Vortex Combustion Chamber"! https://medium.com/emmett-on-wheels...olled-combustion-cvcc-works-d28f85d61372LOL! Jerry
