	Have to watch that again later. Then I really must address fluid flywheels but not until I have given my little brain a rest.

	Well the answer to the big question is 42 so that's not left us much to work on! :-D

	Aha, I have found another diagram. It looks like the power goes through the bottom crankshaft and the power from the other two is transferred to it by quite a complex system of gears. Now I have solved that one I can get back to looking at things about fascinators and pink fluffy things again.

	One is not rotating in the same direction as the other two. Sorry Dermot, I don't understand your comments.

	Interesting machine looking at some pics, but would the drive be rather like a crank shaft driving an OHC, but in this case three crank shafts say rotating clock wise would turn a centre cog anticlockwise. Or am I looking at it too simplistically. :-)

	Bevelled gears redirect the power but how the hell do you get the power from three cranks to join together.

	Search me I still can't figure out how a differential works!

	Well, I have been having girly thoughts all night and now I am really confused. There will, I am sure, be somebody who knows about these things who can tell me. Right, so there must be three crank shafts, so, are there three flywheels and how do you get three lots of power through one final drive?

	I did look at the fluid flywheel film and I still don't understand it.

	I could never get the hang of the fluid flywheel. Might see if I can find an illustration of that.
