Again measure thedistance from the same stationary pointto the center of upper hanger pin. Thedifference in the distances between thepoint and center of pin is the amount thehanger must be lengthened to equalizethe cut-oflf on the two sides; or raisingthe tumbling shaft box slightly more thanthis on the right side would have the sameeflfectas shortening the hanger on that side.

With the valve stem tram make a markon top of valve stem. The eccentric rodmust be lengthened enough to draw thevalve back a distance equal to the distancebetween the mark just made on valve stemand the point a. Fig. 21. Adjusting the right side in the sameway will give an 8ji-inch cut-oflf on theright side, and the left side cuts oflf at7^ inches. Notice that in back gear thecut-oflf is latest on left side and in for-ward gear earliest on that side. This inequality can be overcome bylengthening the link hanger on left side,or shortening the hanger on righ
