This makes a unit 3/16 in. wide,1 s of which is on the sprocket teeth, while 1/16 in., theguide plate, is outside the sprocket. The other style of Whitney chain has a single guideplate in the center which runs in a groove provided in thesprocket. In this case also a special unit is used, so con-structed that any desired width may be obtained by com-bining it with the proper number of regular B units.
