The Reliance Engineering Company Catalog of 1916 offered additions to the range of sizes and mechanical changes in the construction of the Olds engines. Instead of a separate cylinder liner with the water jacket bolted on, they cast the cylinder with the water jacket as one part. The valve cages were opposed top and bottom with valve lock rod on the intake valve that 'presses up against the spring stiffening it so it cannot teeter and allow gasoline to be wasted.' The cylinder head is not removable as the cylinder and head are in one piece. The cast iron sub-base was the main fuel tank. Ignition was a battery system, and a magneto could be had for an additional price. The following sizes were offered in the Type A modifications.
