Who Knows What the RS 127 S Engines Presented in 1985 Were Used for?<\/h3>\n
\n

\"RS-127-S-Doppelmotorenanlage\"A Special MWM Moment of Volker Pr\u00e4fke<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since its foundation in 1922, Motoren-Werke Mannheim A.-G. has always been in competition with the major German engine manufacturers MAN in Augsburg and Nuremberg, DEUTZ in Cologne, Daimler-Benz in Stuttgart Untert\u00fcrkheim, and the Krupp Germania shipyard in Kiel. To survive in such a setting, there was a need for excellent products and a team that understood how to make use of market niches. This, in turn, required innovative technical solutions. <\/p>\n

An unusual twin engine system is one such innovation. I hope that my “Moment” will help solve a mystery: The depicted engines were shown in a presentation from KHD AG in 1985. However, the power rating is wrong; the RS 127 S delivered 350 hp at 1,000 rpm.<\/p>\n

Though former employees who are interested in the company’s history have been asked, we have not (yet) been able to find out what the system was used for. Therefore, I would like to bring light into the darkness by means of the “MWM Moments” campaign. So who can tell us what the engines were used for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
