| Throttle lever "casting"
with quadrant and lever, along with the throttle lever mount
"casting". Not quite done, the handle and release lever
still has to be made. On a part like this there is a lot of fiddling
and fitting. Any slop in this mechanism is multiplied by every
joint and bearing all the way to the actual throttle in the smoke
box. So good workmanship and careful fitting really pays off
in a mechanism that's not sloppy. |
