Thank you! That’s more than I had hoped for after having seen a photo pop up when I was traveling recently. Interesting that the crank has no main journals as such but rather uses the bore to do it.

The "X" engine, from this Packard publication, I'd be glad to post the pages on the other motors if there is interest.
The "X" motor is also given coverage in Bob Neal's books on Packard motors. Attach file:  Pg 4.jpg (515.22 KB) Pg 1.jpg (641.64 KB)

Imagine the infernal noise created by dozens of roughly riveted leather transmission belts. The dull rolling of the large ball bearings, the beating of the fluttering belts, the howling of the shafts and spindles while the heavy spokes of the cast iron flywheels blow the warm downdraft from the friction surfaces through the hall. And all of this rotates at different, but always high, speeds and does not stand still even at night. The eye cannot find a quiet spot to rest. Everything signals danger. Woe to anyone who gets their arm caught in it.
