Well I do not know if this counts but Harry had many,many patents in his 
name for the 'heart'shaped combustion chambers plus other design 
features relating to  cylinder heads, air flow and fuel 
mixing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also cross flow, semi downdraught heads for A-series engines which were 
fitted to 'works' Sprites and Minis with Lucas fuel injection and the 
USA's V.12 Gurney-Weslake formula 1 engine.

Is that enough so indicate the mans importance?
