Unbuilt, experimental and unusual Boeing 747s

[AE220]

From, Boeing 747 A History,

please look to picture 4 ,what was this ?,maybe I can't
see well !.

In an act of remarkble stupidity, I decided to take a front view of all things of this exact model.

Not stupid at all. That photo captures something important. It shows just how narrowly the turbofans were placed on the early 747s. One of the last major design changes, if memory serves, was moving the engines further out on the wing and spacing them further apart.

Dear Sentinel Chicken,
is there in the book a picture to say if my interpretation below is right or wrong?

I'd actually expect the single engine to be on the outboard pylon. You'd need less rudder trim designed in that way.
