Constantinesco
Romanian automobile
The Constantinesco was a Romanian automobile produced from 1926 to 1928. It was built by George Constantinescu, a Romanian-born engineer and inventor, who had gained fame by his invention of an improved version of a machine gun synchronization gear (a device allowing aircraft-mounted machine guns to fire through the propeller without striking the blades themselves) that replaced the clumsy mechanical linkages that had been previously employed with a hydrostatic device based on his own novel theory of sonics, or "wave transmission".2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
