The Napier company was famous for making high-powered internal combustion engines for use in just about all forms of transport. The Deltic was especially noted for its use in the eponymous locomotive and also in naval craft. The engine was so-called because it had three banks of cylinders arranged like a capital Greek delta. There were three crankshafts and 6 sets of pistons that ran opposed in the three banks. Other features are that it is a valveless, uniflow scavenged two stroke diesel.
