If I had to guess I would say there’s a chain inside the walking beam transmitting power to each of the rear wheels and the chain is being powered from the center pivot point. Of course this is just MHO?
    I think the driver has to re-read the book and understand what constitutes a running start.
    Gear reduction boxes are mounted on the rear axle. The wheels are then mounted to the reduction box hubs. No chains were harmed. I believe Portal made those.
