I visited Scopos Motor Museum in Batley West Yorkshire, a small but interesting place.

Noticed some very expensive circa 1930 cars that were supercharged, a Bently and a Merc.

The Merc's supercharger was not on all the time, it was triggered by the throttle linkage to engage a clutch to run the charger..cool!

The Bentley had 2 "dumpvalves" of sorts on the inlet manifold..again cool!

Hi,
Is that a boat propellor on the front of the Merc engine?
Cheers,
Gavin :)
