A rib r /• is cast on the inside of the rim between the spokes,to strengthen the rim. This rib is of the same thickness asthe spokes, and its projection c from the rim is also equal totheir thickness. The radii d and e, fig, 179 of the curves whichjoin the spokes to the rim and to each other are entirely arbi-trary, and may be left to the judgment and taste of ihe drafts-man. Alter locating the center of one of each of these curves,arcs of circles should be drawn from the center O through each BELT PULLEY. Scale fr^.in.^ Fig. 181.
