FWIW it's worth I found the following information
in Chapter 2 of the above web site. Don't know if
it was the first but it was long before anyone even
dreamed about the Lotus engine for the JH.
Clifton Gordon
Int III 22101156
For the 1912 event, Peugeot decided to field a new
grand prix car of 7.6 liters designed by Ernest Henry,
who had collaborated with Marc Birkigt in the
development of an Hispano Suiza for King Alfonso XIII.
The 4-cylinder Hispano engine featured twin overhead
camshafts, hemispheric combustion chambers and
four valves per cylinder, but no sooner was it
designed than Henry and Zucarelli, the chief tester
for
Hispano Suiza, sold the design to Peugeot. Birkigt
sued and won for the theft, but Peugeot still had the
design.
