What is a centre power take?

I'm taking it to mean that the driving rotation from engine to transmission is taken from the middle of the crankshaft rather than (as is usually the case) the back.

[matt21]

It should correctly be called "power take off".
Normally it is done in order to reduce torsional vibration of the crankshaft.

And by the way, the FA91 was the last car to switch engine manufacturers during the season.
