	Bristol Perseus
		The first production versions of the Perseus were rated at 580 horsepower, the same as the same-year model Mercury, which shows that the sleeve system was being underutilized.
		The Perseus saw limited use in the civilian field, notably on the Short Empire flying-boats, but was more common in the now-expanding military field where it was found on the Westland Lysander, Vickers Vildebeest, Blackburn Botha, Skua and Roc bombers.
		The main contribution of the Perseus is that its mechanicals were used as the basic piston and cylinder for the "twinned" versions, the tremendously successful Hercules and Centaurus.

	Bristol Type 152 Beaufort
		The Bristol Beaufort was one of a series of aircraft derived from the earlier Bristol Blenheim.
		The first aircraft to be submitted to specification G.24/35 was the Bristol Type 149, which went on to be produced in Canada as the Bolingbroke and in Britain as the Blenheim Mk IV, for use as a light bomber.
		Bristol’s response was to further modify the Type 150, producing the Type 152 Beaufort, which could satisfy both M.15/35 and G.24/35.

	Bristol Aquila
		During the compression and power stroke, the sleeve is at the top of its travel and its ports rise above the level of internal sealing rings in the cylinder head, which in the case of sleeve valves, are called “junk heads.” Two spark plugs near the center of the junk head provide ignition.
		The Perseus, a nine-cylinder air-cooled radial with a bore of 5.75” and a stroke of 6.5” (1,520 cu in) was rated at 515 hp.
		The Aquila, Bristol’s second sleeve-valve engine design, was patterned closely after the Perseus, but with smaller dimensions (5.00” bore, 5.375” stroke, displacement of 950 cu in).

		In Bristol in Great Britain, the concept of modern Hotels was born when, for the first time, an inn separated customers from their horses and created Rooms for customers and special spaces for horses.

		The wing span of the model aircraft was 114 ft / 35 metres and its length was 88 ft / 27 metres.
		The S30 series model aircraft were fitted with Bristol Perseus sleeve valve engines and had a strengthened airframe allowing the take off weight to be increased to 46,000 pounds and giving a range of about 1,500 miles.
		In addition to the C class model flying boats there were also three S26 type built and these were known as the G class and had names starting with G. The model aircraft were a scaled up version of the C class with 134 ft. wing span and was 101 ft, long.

		In 1959 Bristol was forced to merge with English Electric, Hunting Aircraft and Vickers-Armstrongs to form the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), later to become part of British Aerospace, now BAE Systems.
		In the 1930s they developed a new line of radials based on the sleeve valve principle, which would develop into some of the most powerful piston engines in the world, and could continue to be sold into the 1950s.
		In 1956 the division was renamed Bristol Aero Engines, and then merged with Armstrong Siddeley in 1958 to form Bristol Siddeley as a part of the airframe mergers that formed BAC.

		Design of the Bristol Freighter began in 1944 in anticipation of demand for a rugged airliner and freighter once WW2 was over, plus potential military requirements.
		Bristol's Type 170 started out as a private venture design and was developed under the leadership of technical director L G Frise (who also designed the Frise aileron).
		The last flight of a Bristol 170 was made on September 6 2004, when Hawkair Aviation ferried C-GYQS to the Reynolds Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada.

	Sleeve valve engines? - Topic Powered by eve community
		One of the obvious benefits of the sleeve valve design, in addition to the aforementioned redution in mechanical noise, is the decreased height of the cylinder.
		Bristol and Napier sleeve valve engines used a 5 port recirculating sleeve.
		The sleeve was on a crankshaft with a ball end connection that raised and rotated the sleeve.

	Bristol Perseus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was not widely used due to the rapid introduction of much more powerful two-row engines like the Bristol Hercules, but is notable as being Bristol's first successful sleeve valve design.
		The first production versions of the Perseus were rated at 580 horsepower 433 kW), the same as the same-year model Mercury, which shows that the sleeve system was being underutilized.
		However this was quickly uprated as improvements were introduced, and by 1936 the Perseus was delivering 810 hp (604 kW), eventually topping out at 930 hp (690 kW) in 1939.

		The Perseus spiral arm - the nearest spiral arm in the Milky Way outside the Sun’s orbit - lies only half as far from Earth as some previous studies had suggested.
		Studies based on the motions of stars yielded a distance of more than 14,000 light-years, while observations comparing the apparent brightness of massive, young stars with estimates of their intrinsic brightness yielded a distance of only about 7,200 light-years.
		The new VLBA measurements confirm with an accuracy of 2 percent that the Perseus spiral arm is located about 6,400 light-years from the Earth.

	The Vickers Wellington
		The pattern for this new bomber was set by an official specification, B.9/32, issued in the middle of 1932, for a twin-engined day bomber of appreciably higher performance than any previously envisaged.
		The promise offered by the forthcoming Bristol Mercury VI S2 supercharged air-cooled radial engines and the Rolls-Royce Goshawk steam-cooled inline engines rendered possible a performance such as that demanded by the specification, and Vickers prepared a design in which these power plants were alternatively applicable.
		As no alternative power plant with a similar power-to-weight ratio as that of the Goshawk presented itself, it was necessary to relax the limit on the bomber's tare weight in order to permit the installation of the heavier and more powerful Bristol Perseus or Pegasus nine-cylinder air-cooled radials.
