180PS Argus As.III engine

[airhead]

I'm putting my faith in you WW1 buffs for any kind of reference pictures or drawings of this engine as was used in the Hannover CLIIIa.

My searches have only resulted in one dubious digital render and I already have the Windsock data file on the Hannover.

Seems like there isn't much left after 90+ years.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Dave,

I had already come across the pictures in my searches.

Nice to have the accompanying text. Unfortunately no new information on the Argus.

I have two photo views (front and side)of the 190HP Argus and a dimensioned three view of the ASIII,170 HP.

Hi John, there probably are plenty of similar features on all types so if you wouldn't mind sharing them that would be very helpful.

I learned from the article referred to by Alfisti that the Argus is actually made by Opel.

It seems there's at least one survivor in the London Science museum.

And here's the rest I found of which I'm not sure about the type:

And someones handy work.

Hi,found some info that may be of use whilst browsing the web on an R/C site,it includes loads of line drawings from French and German publications,http://www.finemodelworks.com/arizona-models/reference/

Found a line drawing of the test tower and railway carriage used for aerodynamic testing of full size aircraft,would make for a fantastic

diorama.
