Nope -- it is like a lathe cutter in the clapper box (to the

Ah, now that I know what I'm looking for/at, it's very clear. Thanks.

You're welcome.

The next image is shaping the ID of the web bores, and the one
below that is heat shrink fitting the webs to the pins in a big stack.
"image:shrink1.jpg" and "image:shrink2.jpg" No -- I don't see the source
of the heat to expand the webs before shrinking them in place, but it
must be somewhere near there. :-)

I wondered how they fit those together. They're all cast in auto
enigines (or were) and I've seen huge old 20th century motors with
bolts going across the counterweights/webs for disassembly, IIRC.

Actually -- aren't they now forged steel instead of cast iron?

Enjoy,
DoN.
