Yeah, we have a picture of this beast in the Hiller Museum restoration shop.
I hadn't looked at it very carefully until last week maybe and then
discovered wow, 36 cylinders. It's interesting relative to other multi-row
radials in that it's basically 9 in-line 4s with overhead cams. That'd take
a heck of a plane (or boat). I wonder if they ever had a planned airframe
for the engine during design.

I went to a boat show, featuring antique wooden boats, and saw some
boats with water cooled Lycoming V-12s.. I was quite surprised. Did
you know Lycoming made a 7700+ cubic inch 36 cyl water cooled radial?
They made a lot of engines in their hey-day.

I saw a P&W 27 cyl where they had four nine cylinder radials all on the same
crank. It was reported to have been used in a German tank and some single
engine aircraft (can't recall what at the moment). It was at a museum just
outside of Lancaster, PA at an event called Rough & Tumble. I was only there
for about three to fours hours last week as I had to divirt around some
nasty WX on my way in. I'll check with my brother to see if he took pics of
any of the aircraft stuff. It was mostly steam engines, locomotives and
tractors. There were some fixed engines too though running mills, generators
and the like, many dating before 1900.
As a pilot, only two bad things can happen to you and one of them will.
a. One day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing that it is your last
flight.
b. One day you will walk out to the aircraft not knowing that it is your
last flight.
