Der berühmte ILO-Piano-Motor bis 1968 , der Piano (ital.=leise) hieß, weil Kurbelwelle und Kupplung nicht über eine laute Kette verbunden waren, sondern durch einen leisen Zahnriemen.
Thanks for the Ilo engine info. I remember the Rockwell snowmobile engines, but I recall them called Rockwell JLO. quite a roller coaster of a story. I believe the first CAR engine with rubber belt was the Goggomobil in 1962, so the idea was in its infancy.
