Some of the early engines had curved spokes om the flywheel, cast that way
to prevent contraction cracking of the casting.
On engines that didnt have reverse, was there any convention for which way
the flywheel ran relative to the spoke curves?
Was the C of the curve open to the direction of rotation or visa versa, or
did each maker choose their own way?
