The crankshafts were fitted with gears , which drove a sun gear arrangement . With iron block and head , it featured Carter TD - 1 carburetor s and 6 . 2 : 1 compression ratio , for an output of at 2400 rpm .

Martin XB - 16 Like the Boeing XB - 15 , the Martin XB - 16 ( Martin Model 145 ) was designed to meet the United States Army Air Corps ' request for a bomber that could carry 2 , 500 lb ( 1 , 100 kg ) of bombs 5 , 000 mi ( 8 , 000 km ) . The XB - 16 was to use four Allison V - 1710 liquid - cooled inline engines ; contemporary American aircraft used air - cooled radial engines . In 1935 , Martin revised the XB - 16 design . The wing span was increased from 140 ft ( 42 . 7 m ) to 173 ft ( 52 . 7 m ) , and a set of V - 1710 engines added to the trailing edge . This version had a wingspan 20 % greater than that of the B - 29 Superfortress , the first operational bomber that would fill the role intended for the XB - 16 . The XB - 16 was cancelled for essentially the same reason the B - 15 project was : it wasn ' t fast enough to meet the requirements set by the Army . Since both were cancelled around the same time , Martin did not have time to produce an XB - 16 .

Battle of Kuisegawa The " Battle of Kuisegawa " was a decisive battle during the Sekigahara Campaign , this battle gave Ishida Mitsunari ' s Western Army the initial advantage at the Battle of Sekigahara while Tokugawa Ieyasu ' s Eastern Army suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to Sekigahara . Beginning . A few days before October 21 , 1600 , Ishida Mitsunari and his troops were stationed at Ogaki Castle . They were evaluating their situation when Tokugawa ' s army arrived two days later at Mino Akasaka , a few miles away from their location . Seeing the massive army before them , many of the Western army soldiers began to quiver with fear . The battle . One man who wasn ' t afraid was Shima Sakon . Wanting to restore the spirit of the men , he requested permission to lead a handful of men to test the enemy ' s skill . His request was wearily granted and he rode out with 500 men to the Kuisegawa river dividing the two armies , Kuisegawa . Akashi Teruzumi , who had at least 800 men , supported him by waiting in ambush . Hiding his troops in the nearby thicket , Sakon attacked the nearest general , Nakamura Kazuhide . Lured by the offense , Kazuhide and his closest allies , Arima Toyouji and Noisshiki Sukeyoshi , followed the retreating Sakon . As they pursued him , they were ambushed and fought blindly in the forest until Sukeyoshi was killed by Sakon ' s troops . Honda Tadakatsu , who was notified of the ruckus , immediately rode to Kuisegawa to assist his comrades ' retreat , when he arrived there , he ordered the wounded Toyouji and Kazuhide to retreat while he would attack the Western Army ' s camp and create a distraction . As the struggle at the Western Army ' s camp went on , with Sakon and Akashi battling Tadakatsu , it was over as soon as Toyouji and Kazuhide were able to get away from Kuisegawa , Tadakatsu also fought his way out . Although Arima and Kazuhide successfully retreated thanks to Tadakatsu ' s aid , the Eastern Army suffered significant losses from the battle and had to pull back from the Mino Akasaka territory , while Sakon and Teruzumi triumphantly returned to Mitsunari and their army ' s morale was restored . Based on his experience on the field , Sakon advised to move the battle to Sekigahara . Tokugawa Ieyasu was watching the battle from a castle where he was residing and was rather impressed by the Western Army ' s performance in it . Aftermath . The Western Army was victorious in this battle , and thanks to it , their morale was boosted and they hold advantage by numbers over the Eastern Army in the grater battle yet to come . Though there were losses on both sides , the Western Army ' s losses were minimal and the Eastern Army had one officer killed , 4 . 000 men killed and lost territory . The unit with the highest reported casualties was Sukeyoshi who lost 2 , 000 men in the assault and has been slain .

Today , Ogaki Castle is a museum for Sekigahara and is considered a national treasure in Japan .
