Cheers Martin, so you see my interest, all seem to have been fitted to Schneider racers...

... but only once an Ansaldo San Giorgio equipped S.12 won -
1920-Venecia-Savoia S.12 (Italia)- Luigi Bologna- 172.54 km/h

Hello A. and M.
I have emailed you both, two photos of pages on Ansaldo San Giorgio engines, from Aerosphere 1939. I hope it is of some interest and use. :)
