Connecting rods

[Olli Jermo <ollie@domain.elided>]

I don't think the original question about connecting rods in v-engines refers to
articulated rods (as in radial engines).

As I understand it,  Harley angines have one rod with a 'forked' big end with two
bearings side by side. The other rod has one bearing narrow enough to fit between the
bearings on the the other rod.

The original question remains:  why is this set-up not used in car engines?
