Ships
Contrary to most car engines, a ship's engine or a power plant engine is numbered from the flywheel end towards the free end.
In ship and power plant V-type engines the numbering is A1... and B1... where the A-bank is on the left hand side and the B-bank is on the right hand side, looking from the flywheel end.

To whirl in tall buildings.
Allow them many ships at sea,
And on land, soldiers
And policemen.”

Happily or unhappily....”
