No, E was much better at doing the things cars do. Especially fast ones.

Could B be a steam engine? I really dunno what does one may look like...

I meant D, not B. Or a Square-4?

D is part of a conventional, internal combustion engine car. This part was on most every gasoline-engine car until quite recently.

Then it seems like a twin-barrel carburettor... no?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #55 on:** October 26, 2009, 02:35:24 AM »

A carb it is!

OK - D is a pair of the same thing. They are carburetors from a car that is well-known by regulars of this site.

A black carburetor? What is it made of?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #57 on:** October 26, 2009, 07:51:35 AM »

Painted iron, I suspect.

This thread is proof positive that there is and always will be an inexhaustible supply of AutoPuzzles.

So D is a carb. Is it particularly noteworthy in terms of being the first with a given technology, or the first from a famous manufacturer? Or should I continue digging through ancient service manuals hoping to get lucky?

As an aside, I found a shop willing to identify any carb for $10; but they don't work with pictures, you have to send it to them. Oh well.

The latter.

The first Weber carb of note I'm told was a two-barrel sidedraft sold as part of a Fiat hop-up kit in the 20s and 30s. "D" Looks like a two-barrel sidedraft, and possibly of that vintage, so lacking any other earthly insight, that's my guess.

Not a weber, and a bit newer, too.

Fact czech - yep: correct! This immediate prewar device is not a Weber carb.

E is much older than that.

I'd post a full picture of E, but am afraid the simultaneous slapping of foreheads across the globe might make for too loud a sound, scaring small children, widows, and cats.

And now, an Ode to D:

To rush to the fore
means going behind
Look for D atop the V
where no water you'll find

Thank you. Thank you very much

C'mon - I'm practically GIVING you the answers.

So D is from a car with an aircooled V-form engine in the rear

A Tatra ! Is the carb a Jikov?
