Very nice!  I suspect that the reason the Elektro twin wasn't produced was that Hughes found that there wasn't an an appreciable gain in horespower over the B30 -- if there was a gain. He did provide HP ratings for the Raven versions of the B30 and B31, so he does appear to have dyno'd the engines.

Metalware's solution?  A second boiler.  These are impressive engines.
