Port configurations
Ok, here's the answer to my question. The second
image shows a three barrel carb with the primary going to two side intake
ports and the secondary going to the Peripheral ports. Interesting
concept.

Subject: Different Rotary Port configurations
Ok, getting a bit quite again. Here is something
that some of you may find interesting. Its a graph comparing the
possible different port configurations for the Rotary engine.
The top graph shows the intake and exhaust port opening
for a engine with a peripheral intake and peripheral exhaust - such as a 13B
which has been converted to a PP intake.
The trapezoidal shapes show the port area. For
example on the first graph the first rectangular area entitled PORT shows the
Peripheral exhaust port open at 63Deg ATDC. There are two trapezoid
areas shown for the Peripheral intake. A "P" which I presume stands for
Primary and a much larger P+S which I presumes stands for a combined primary
and Secondary port. Although, I do not ever recall a PP with two tubes
one for primary and one for secondary. So there may be another
explanation.
The second graph is our traditional 13B with sideport
intake and peripheral port exhaust. Here the intake timing for the
intake is that of the NA 13B although it shows the intake opening a bit
later than the stock 13B but closing at the stock 40 deg ABDC.
If you look at the area under the first graphs "P"
trapezoid it appears to be open much longer than the P for the side port
intake (2nd graph), but the trapezoid is not as high. Wonder what that
signifies? Open longer but not as large a port area?
Anyhow, thought some of you might find it
interesting.
