Talk:Salmson AD.3

Displacement

Bore and stroke (mm) given yield just 773.9cc (47.2cuin), not the 993 (60.6) given. Where's the error this time? AMCKen (talk) 07:18, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

A transcription error on my part, now corrected. You could have checked and corrected this information yourself by following the citation given at the top of the specification section which leads to the linked web source in the reference section (see WP:SOFIXIT).

British Salmson

AD AD has reversed in adverts and articles. I think that this designation was applied only to British Salmson produced engines which may or may not have been direct copies of the Salmson 3 Ad, th3e French version. i will adjust the article to reflect this.--Petebutt (talk) 08:04, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

the dichotomy is do we change the title to Salmson 3 Ad which would cover all production or leave it as AD.3 which would cover only British production?--Petebutt (talk) 08:16, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

A French advert from December 1924 for the engine describes it as the AD-3, so AD.3 would actually cover both suppliers. Though the 3 Ad form also no doubt appears (I need to check old French lit), AD.3 (or AD-3) does not imply British. I think we should keep the article as all-inclusive.TSRL (talk) 17:38, 8 December 2016 (UTC) Flight, in the same year, refers to the engine as the A.D.-3. (!) The British Salmson Co. was not founded until 1930, so the two sources show the AD-3 notation pre-dates the British connection.TSRL (talk) 17:50, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Though the AD-3 seems to have disappeared by the mid-30s, the order of number and letters had changed (for example to 9 AD) though there is a roughly equal mix of 9 AD and 9 Ad.TSRL (talk) 20:17, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
