These bearings are bothriveted to the boiler. 587. Clutch.—When the separator is being driven bythe engine the traction part must not move. Conse-quently, there must be some method for throwing thepower from the drive wheel which drives the pulley tothe transmission gearing that runs the traction part ofthe engine. The device for transferring the power is aclutch generally located on the engine shaft. It actsupon the belt wheel of the engine. Fig. 332 shows a sim-. ple. 332—CLUTCH pie clutch in parts. A is the belt wheel upon which trav-els the belt that drives the separator. It is fixed to theengine shaft so that whenever the engine moves thiswheel moves also. The clutch blocks and arms are seenat D, and the pinion is engaged with the transmissiongearing at C. This part of the mechanism is not fixed tothe shaft, and revolves with it only when the clutch is TRACTION ENGINES 449 locked. In other words, \Yhen the clutch locks, the blocksall are forced out against the rim of the belt wheel tightenough so they stick to it and the whole mechanism re-volves with the wheel. The clutch is a very importantpart of the traction engine and requires very careful ad-justment and care. Since the blocks DDD are continuallywearing off, the arms EE have to be constantly should be so carefully adjusted that when thrownin, the clutch will lock and hold itself in position. Theyshould also be adjusted so there will be no slip betweenthe clutch blocks
