I just love this brochure!
The Dodge Bros. 4-cylinder motor was a flathead, but (then) well-known automotive engineer Robert M. Roof designed an OHV head with 16 valves, and the valves were larger than stock. Apparently it really perked the DB motor up. The original DB flathead had "L-shaped" combustion chambers, but the Roof head had round chambers.
Here's the brochure. I hope you enjoy reading it. I think it's a classic.
