Reckon they really mean that the cylinder is mounted to the rear, and not the 
axle?  GS did build some side mount engines with the cylinder forward aroung 
the turn of the century.  The 150 of rumely products book also states that GS 
was building side and rear mounts by 1894! ( see page 72 of Scott Thompson's 
rumely book).  There is even a picture of what appears to be a side mount 
engine with a front mounted cylinder ala Russell or Advance.
