Five of them powered the German airship Graf Zeppelin, housed in separate nacelles. The engines developed 550 hp and were of 33.251 L (2,029.1 cu in) capacity. They could burn either Blau gas or petrol.[1][2] The American USS Akron used eight of them, mounted internally,[3] as did its sister ship Macon.[4] The engines were reversible, meaning different cams could be engaged allowing the engine crankshaft to run in either direction, enabling reverse thrust.[5]
