Hipolito 350 cp with Portuguese Drehrapid"

Ingenious J-tube attachement to the lower holding plate.
On the Rapid ,fuel and air are sucked in through small holes in the intake pipe.An interesting solution . Unfotunately, the air holes become clogged over time .

 

Well saved!

 

Thank you for the detailed presentation.


Cheers

Tony

 

Very well done

 

Any idea about approx. manufacturing year/period? 350cp must be after WWII, right? So Hipolito must have been manufacturing much longer this old style, positive shut off rapids then Petromax?
That wasp nest was a cool addition
all the best,
