I bought one of Suzuki's Infamous Rotary RE-5 Motorcycle in 1975, It was actually pretty quick for a Heavy Motorcycle and could have set the “G” stock record in Motorcycle drag racing if it weren't for the rule that you would have to tear the engine down to claim it.
The basic design is a century-old one. Felix Wankel himself was a German engineer who came up with his version of a rotary engine in the 1920s. Being busy with warmongering on behalf of the Nazi party, he didn't get the chance to develop his vision too far until 1951, when German automaker NSU invited him to design a prototype. The Wankel is the most common and successful rotary engine design, and the only one to make it into mass production. In the early 70s, Mazda envisioned an entire lineup of Wankel-powered cars, a dream that was smashed by the 1973 oil crisis.

A fine oscillatory steam engine ,spirit fired with safety valve , whistle and regulator valve. The boiler side plates appear to come from a Bowman model but the engine with its displacement lubricator and brass flywheel do not look like any commercial model I have seen.
By chance I saw this vintage fire engine parked outside an auto spares store in Darwin. I stopped to take a few photos.

1933 Willys Drag Racer V-8 cylinder engine, supercharged,
single overhead camshaft, 427 cubic inches displacement, 1,200 horsepower
Originally equipped with a 414-cubic-inch Cadillac V-8, and then a 389 Chevy V-8, “Ohio George” Montgomery’s Willys got its current 427 Ford in 1966. The Ford engines were in such short supply that Montgomery received his a few pieces at a time. The magnesium supercharger at top pumps
a pressurized fuel-air mixture into the cylinders, and the exhaust pipes venting directly from the cylinder heads eliminate back pressure. Both features increase the engine’s power.
