the Chamberlain 8, 2 stroke, 4 cylinder, 8 pistons... and front wheel drive.
it did indeed have eight pistons but one set operated as valves, albeit with some contribution to compression; much like a compressor. The two pistons per cylinder design allows quite independent timing of the inlet and exhaust ports-thereby overcoming one of the inherent shortcomings of a normal one piston per cylinder two stroke design. The top crankshaft is actually timed 27.5 degrees behind the lower crankshaft. This allows the intake ports to remain open after the exhaust closes, to take advantage of the higher blower pressure-which then can actually pressurise the ingoing gases in the cylinder.

The royal coach museum of Portugal, coaches of Kings, Queens, Popes, and many other notables
In May of 1905 the “Royal Coach Museum” was inaugurated in Lisbon by Queen Amélia of Orleans and Bragança, Princess of France, daughter of the Count of Paris, who married King Carlos I of Portugal in 1886.
The location chosen to accommodate the world’s first coach museum was in the antique hall of the Royal Riding School modified specifically by the Court’s architect in collaboration with painters to achieve an almost perfect harmony between the location and the exhibition of State Vehicles.
The museum’s collection grew due to the arrival of coaches and berlins from the extinct Royal House, and vehicles from the Church’s estate.
Simply astonishing collection, (I've only selected about half to show the vast variety) all available online to look at in much more detail, with information about each vehicle.

the motorcycle in the 9-11 museum
Inside the Museum that sits at Ground Zero rests this 1979 Honda CB750.
In the summer of 2001, firefighter Gerald Baptiste of FDNY Ladder Company 9 purchased this battered motorcycle believing he could restore it to good working condition.
His fellow firefighters joked that it would take time and money just to start the engine.
Following Baptiste's death in the North Tower on 9/11, the broken-down motorcycle remained at the firehouse until a memorial tribute in Backroads Magazine inspired Baptiste's colleagues to restore the bike in his memory.
Surviving members of Ladder Company 9, with support from Honda and motorcycle enthusiasts nationwide, transformed the motorcycle into a 'bike of healing' know as the Dream Bike. Ten roses painted on the cover of the gas tank symbolize the members of Ladder Company 9 and Engine Company 33 who were killed on 9/11.
Never forget.
