Twin Cammers

Looks like they are connected back to back by the flywheel?

If I remember right it's a boat?, I think I've seen other pictures. Very cool.

That is really, really cool.  One of them must be reverse rotation.  Wonder who made the cams?

Here's a link to a nice article on Walter & the boat, including a better picture.

I saw those two engines for sale in Ron Miller's shop back in the late 90's.  They were on some sort of cradle and I seem to recall a reversing gearbox setup mounted between them, with the driveshaft running out the side of the box forward to a Vee drive.

Running a cammer backwards would be a problem, because the slack-side tensioner wouldn't like all of that additional load!
