Thecrank is of plain type, polished on theface, and is protected by a planishedsteel oil guard. The engines are fittedeither with belt flywheels, as shown, orwith square rim wheels where used withdirect connected electric generators. Thecrank and crosshead pins and main jour-nals are of a size ordinarily used withheavy duty engines. In brief, the engine is strong, simple andcompact, and while nothing has beenadded for ornamentation, nothing con-tributing to economy or durability hasbeen omitted, and the machine should find.
