Design feature on BMW 132 equipped aircraft
On some aircraft with BMW 132 engine (for example on some but not on all Ju 86E) one can see three pairs of rods from the nacelle to the base of the propeller shaft and I wonder what’s the purpose of them? Are they part of the propeller gear or intended for the engine? I think I've remembered the same feature on Ar 196 and may be also on He 114 and He 115.
Is it by seeing them in a photo, possible to derive the version of the BMW 132 engine or to identify what type of propeller the aircraft is carrying?
I've tried to attach a photo of an BMW 132 engine with this feature visible to this message but since I haven't done this before I'm not sure it works...
