[Land-speed] Engine Coupler

[Rich Fox]

I don't know but I think the front two engines drove the front axle, the 
rear two the rear axle. Seems to me that I saw a shaft running alongside the 
two Engines in the Burkland's 'liner that were geared to each engine and the 
drive front and rear. maybe not.  RF
