(it didn't work well and most helos went to turbines from what I read)

I went inside one of those once at an aviation museum outside of Fort Worth. It was a marvel of mechanical engineering, with twin radial (tank?) engines, and so many drive shafts it looked rather deadly inside for the poor passengers.

Come to think of it, I wonder how would they keep the engine speeds synched?

The engines were Corsair/Hellcat Radials.... some early US tanks used smaller radials; not those, though.

The engines drove a common gearbox so the ran the same speed.

Looks like some kind of hopper cooled engine on that contraption. Interesting engineering.
