Nearly. The survivors are the full 18 cylinder Deltic, the 9 cylinder baby was a bit of a flop.

That’s not the error though! The engine really was made that way.

I know...is there an actual error in the gif?

Yes, it’s the pistons. Each of the pair of pistons in a cylinder is shown as moving at the same time. In fact they were out of phase, with the exhaust pistons being 20 deg in advance of the inlet ones. This was done to open the exhaust port before the inlet one and therefore to close the inlet after the exhaust to the benefit of efficiency.
