Advantages are: 50 per cent more power-strokes per revolution of the crankshaft than in the four-cylinder engine; overlapping of power-strokes, which gives more constant driving-torque and decreases intensity of vibrations; greater power obtainable, with corresponding decrease in weight of reciprocating parts; quicker acceleration, due to foregoing; and ability to run at high speed without laboring.
