I kinda already know ... but how about the mechanism which synchronized the engine with the machine gun so you didn't shoot off your own propeller?

Thanks, Paul. No idea about the machine guns but we have a new video about how Gnome/Rhone rotary engine used in the aircraft like the legendary first world war British Sopwith Camel worked, if you are interested have a look:
