That is a brief timeline. I did a two part story for RX Tuner last year that covered the history of the rotary engine up to Mazda. From what I hear, many people enjoyed it. I've also used it as the basis for two seminars on rotary engine history.

I can send you guys the word document if you'd like. Or you can track down some back issues of RX Tuner. It was December 2004 and January 2005 IIRC.
