VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "Bristol" air-cooled aero-engines, specifically promoting "The New Mercury" Series VII, VIII and IX. The image features a front-on view of the radial engine with its multiple cylinders arranged in a circular pattern around the central crankcase. The ad provides technical specifications such as rated power (795 B. H. P. at 2, 850 R. P. M. at 13, 000 ft. ) and maximum power (810 B. H. P. at 2, 750 R. P. M. at 14, 000 ft. ), emphasizing its performance with the tagline "Power at Altitude. " The net weight of the engine is listed as 990 lbs. , highlighting its relatively lightweight construction for aircraft use during that era. Below this information is the name and location of the manufacturer: The Bristol Aeroplane Co. , Ltd. , located in Filton, Bristol. The overall design and presentation suggest it's from an earlier part of aviation history when radial engines were commonly used to power military and civilian aircraft before being largely superseded by turbine engines in many applications.
