Ian, AFAIK Ing. Carcano is still with us. http://www.motocorse.com/provemoto.php?artid=120 has a photo of him, the V8, and a drawing of a GP single engine. ...

You would wonder why they would stipulate the 90 degree bit ? Cut down on research costs maybe for someone trying to get an advantage from 91 degrees...? ...
