This step takescare of the quartering of the axle. The sides of the gear aremachined parallel to the plane of rotation, and hence offer ameans of lining up the machine so that the pin will be turnedndicular to the cheeks. A crank axle which has seenenough hard service to necessitate the re-turning of its highpressure crank pins is usually sprung more or less, hence themachine should always be lined up parallel to the check next tothe drh my ; bearing, since this cheek is less likely
