increase in Vee motors as,a gen-eral rule more crank-pins are used. The crank-shaft that Crank-Shaft Construction 317 would be used on a two-cylinder opposed motor is shownat Fig. 136. This has two throws and the crank-pins arespaced 180 degrees apart. The bearings are exception-ally long.… … Fig. 138.—Crank-Case and Crank-Shaft Construction for Twelve-CylinderMotors. A—Duesenberg.
