Btw I think I found a plot of what you are looking for.

If you have more info in the plot I would be interested.

Another question I would like to verify.  Is the swept volume of one
"side" of the rotor approx 634CC?
If you wish you may edit this post and post it and responses to the
list, feel free to do so.  I only ask that you please do not post my
email addresses or use them for any other purpose.

BTW
I really like your mail list software.  I see it is on Linux.  What do
you use?  Is it hosted or from a residential account?

I'll get around to scanning that plot for you.
Yes on the swept volume. 1.3 L for both rotors. Sort of like a two cycle.
As a four cycle equivalent it is consider to be 2.6 L.

Vance will jump in here, protest and say it is a six cyl 3.9 L :) It matters not 
whether Felix Wankel got two quarts in a pint pot or only one. The bottom line for any
engine is the physical overall size of the engine and its weight for the HP 
generated reliably in aircraft service or aircraft engine duty cycle.

I use an old version of Netscape 4.6. I also have Mozzilla which is a lot less
buggy but larger and slower. Yes it is hosted from my home with dial up no less:)
