FITTING ROCKER SHAFT BOXES BY A. G. JOHNSONChief Draftsman, Duluth & Iron Range. Two Harbors. Minn. As a means to facilitate the fitting of rocker shafts in theirboxes the arrangement shown in the illustration has been de-vised and found successful. The rocker box is held in thevise as shown, it being ready for scraping or spotting. If, as. Method of Holding Rocker Shafts While Fitting the Boxes it is often necessary, the rocker arm C has to be lifted to andfrom the bench every time it is desired to spot the box twomen will be required to handle it. In addition to this it isheavy work and takes time. By providing two .)4-in. rods,as shown at B, bent to fit into the bolt holes of the box, therocker shaft can be lifted out and rolled back out of theworkmans way and at the same time be easily handled. Withit in this position the box can l^e spotted and the shaft triedas many times as necessary without much time or physicalstrength and without the danger of denting or marring thebearing or the box.
