Good Day!
I'm pretty confident that all Mr. Kelley's balancer did was add weight to the center of the flywheel. The flywheel mass (-of any weight) cancels any affect of the flywheel mounted balancer when they are both mounted onto the same flange. If it were mounted onto the opposite end of the crankshaft where it could dampen the torsional pulsations of the crank, then it would do a lot of good.
