That pendulum engine is amazing. The machining of the cylinder bore in the pre-CNC 5 axis machine world would have been something to see.

Here is the Adams Farwell engine. Fixed crank radial engine. The video really shows it well.

There are other radial engine powered cars shown but I believe the Adams Farwell was the only one that actually reached production and was sold to the public.
