DB CR’s
There is a direct reference to this matter in a report that was written by Rolls-Royce engineers following a visit to Germany shortly after the end of the War.
The DB engineers they spoke to made two points, 1/ that they were required to build their V-12 engines inverted even though it was against their better judgement and
2/ the use of the differential CR’s in the DB 600 engines was to combat the effects of uneven oil consumption in the two banks of cylinders.
The different CR’s had NOTHING to do with off-set superchargers or articulated con-rods (which these engines never had).
