They are counterbalanced in the disks.
From the patent at:
[www.google.com]
Disks 32 are arranged on the ends of the axles and these are provided with crank pins 33 and the crank pins at each side are connected by rods 34. The disks 32 are provided with the weighted portions 35 which balance the crank and connecting rods. Heretofore it has been common to balance the crank and connecting rods by counterweighting the drive wheels. By providing a disk and arranging the counter-weight in the disk itself the axle is relieved of very severe strains which the off-set of the counter-weight would aggravate.
