The older machines often had a BIG assed flywheel on that end of the
crank along with the brake. I was called in years ago on a repair job
for a crank that had crystallized and that 8' flywheel had suddenly
gotten free. No one was badly hurt..but the flywheel was found in the
street blocking traffic....embedded in the side of someone's
van...about 400 feet from the press.

That's vaguely reminiscent of the trailer spare tire which got away
while traveling down the freeway in LoCal...

Thank Crom it was on Hiway 33..not the freeway. Just between Taft and
Maricopa. Its been what...15 yrs now..still hasn't been found.

Did they ever catch the perp fer littrin'?
