This would make large pins, but they could havelarge holes through them and reduce weight in that way. Inthe case of driving axle journals it seems as if forced lubricationand filtration of oil, arranged so that it can be used again,would cure the difficulty. Upon incLuiry we find that Mr. Dean does not know of thisform of eccentric and strap having been used on locomotivesor in stationary work, except in the case of a stationary
