I my be able to whiz by for a quick visit, but I am on a tight schedule on
my UK trip, after the Crecy, I am seeing a few Deltics, and catching as
much of the Olympics as opportunity permits! :) Where are you located, as
my Intergalactic positoning system seems to be malfunctioning (I think the
pesky critters eating the zuchinni may have gotten inside of it!) Catch ya
later...Zontaar

Sleeve Valve Drive Types
The RR Crecy and Napier Sabre sleeve valve drives are shown here. They are actually quite simple, but the crecy drive takes some thinking to understand.
There is also a lot of information and images on this forum website - all
historical stuff on the enginehistory dot o r g website Most of the
interesting stuff is in the members section. It does include a 2400 x 1657
copy of it, and a smaller version as well. Zontaar - you didn't mention the
rotation of the sleeve to uncover the sleeve ports with the inlet and
exhaust housings.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated! Sorry, guess I got carried away
there. Yes, the sleeve rotates as well as oscillating, it is really amazing
the motion imparted to it by a simple small crankshaft through a ball
joint. It sure gets rid of a large number of moving parts needed in a
poppet valve engine!
There is also a pattern there on the website for the Sabre sleeve valve
pattern of movements and opening. It is missing one sequence near the end
at BDC at end of exhaust stroke but otherwise is very illustrative -
colored in overlap stages. If you want more info, I can share an email or
something.
I had a look at the enginehistory website, I didn't locate very much,
perhaps you need to be a member to access most of it. Yes, Setrights book
is very good, it is mainly what got me started into sleeve valves, the RR
Crecy etc. Have a good one!
Yes, the Napier Sabre gave Napier a handfull when they put it into
production! They worked out the bugs, and got it up to a reliable 3750
horsepower at 4200 rpm from 2238 cubic inches. Pretty much the best
performance in the world for 1945.
The full cross section view of the Napier Sabre is from "The power to fly"
by Setright. With luck a library, or an engineering library at a university
may have it. I have had zero luck trying to find one at used book stores in
years past.
Thats great, of course the drawing in the book isn't colored in like mine
is! :) Coloring pencils can be a good thing to make the drawing more clear.
Run lots of original copies, since a copy of a copy loses some resolution.
Take care.
if u dont have this book i can get a copy my roomate is crazy a bout books
and has the ablity to find any book inline it seems IDK how he dose it but
he always dose it lol =3-
Watch It Played is a series designed to teach and play games! In this episode we will learn how to play Legacy: The Testament of Duke De Crecy, using the solo ...
Hi Rodney,
I started to play my first solo Testament variant and was just curious
where it states that you have to remove the child cards with special
effects. I can't seem to find it in the rule book.
I got in touch with the designers to clarify certain things that were not expressly written in the rules, so that's why you might not find everything in the rulebook. However, these videos were approved by the designers/publishers, so you're in good hands :)
I've just tried the regular Solo Variant, are you going to cover that in
future maybe? ;)
This is really a most versatile game and this variant sounds also
wonderful. Thank you Sir Rodney for all the work you put into your videos!
:D
After the first rules video, well I thought that game wasn't for me, I just
didn't find the theme all that interesting. However the solo variant has
turned me around. For some reason the backwards flip to the theme of
learning about your ancestors rather than building your descendants, clicks
with me far more than the standard play. I may now have to look into this
game as another possible one to add to my solo-friendly collection.
I'm so pleased to hear you stuck around for the second video even though the first one didn't sell you on it. Whether it ends up in your collection or not, very nice to hear you enjoyed learning about the solo version. Always good to hear from our solo gamer viewers!
Nice work Rodney! and great to see a Portal game on WiP... a totally great
publisher... every game's a winner!! A great concept this one, and the solo
variant is a special addition. This was no easy feat getting this into a
film, so much kudos for taking it on! best wishes, Rick
