Although simple in concept, the complexity of the internal combustion engine is mind-boggling.

Actually, I was looking at a 1903 flat-head, reed valved, two-cycle the other day, and was overjoyed with its simplicity. Its only complexity were two non-shrouded, gear driven fans blowing on the air cooled cylinders.

Another beauty was the transmission, which simply moved a rubber faced wheel (set perpendicular) outboard from the center of the flywheel. This was splined to a shaft, which transferred power to the main axle. A perfectly smooth transmission without gears.
