Aircraft application to get the crankshaft higher in the airframe for prop clearance without obstructing the forward view by having cylinders hanging out of the cowling. Obviously a dry sump engine, last time this was done was probably in the 1940's sometime, maybe up into the 50's, but was very common in the 30's.

If you dig a hole through the earth and jump in, you'll probably end up in orbit around the core. You'd need a winch to pull you out, and let's hope someone put that winch rightside up...
