Primary Evidence
"All the engine tests were successful. The French govern- ment also purchased a licence and arranged for production by Peugeot. This engine was a 16-cylinder double-bank 400 HP design, with a reduction gear and layout enabling a 37 mm. cannon to be fired through the propeller shaft; the whole was covered by patents until 1935. This type of*aero- engine was later adapted and produced by Bréguet in France, Napier in England, and Mann in Germany. Many other aeroengines in U-form or H-form are also derived from it."
