Glad you found it interesting. I probably should have added that Pickard was the family name of one of the founders of the company.

The valve arrangement has similarities to that used later by the Duesenberg brothers in their "walking beam" engines. The cylinder head/combustion chamber appears to be cast en-bloc with the barrel so I assume the valve seats are within the manifolds, pretty neat piece of engineering!
