BATCO, 1021 was C130 prop RPM IIRC.
Yes single shaft driving a reduction gearbox. I'm sure someone can give you the compressor/turbine RPM. A driver only needed to know 100% RPM.
Many folks around LYE and RWB miss the C130 and the sound.
What we do not miss is the regular Fri pm VC10 doing circuits at LYE to avoid spooling up those "quiet" RR Conway by-pass engines abeam the O Mess at BZN and thus disturbing the 'elder statesmen' of the VC10 world enjoying their G & Ts at Happy Hour.
Normal start for Albert was one eng at a time. Each eng took about 1 min to on speed, 70% low speed, to keep the noise down on the ground! So 5 mins before taxy.
