Originally we believe the friction was of the continental type the integral iron
boss being the backplate and the wheel free to turn on its arbour. At the moment
the wheel is seen to be riveted onto a round not square part of the arbour.
(The other two great wheels are riveted onto squares.)
|
Pin hole is clearly seen in the arbour.
|
The friction as it is now.
|
The friction has not been changed but a demonstration friction spring has been
made and fitted to show the principal.
