It will be noted that there is but one drilled hole in thisconstruction, that being for the wedge adjusting bolt. As thisis not subject to appreciable wear, it appears that the onlyparts needing renewal will be the brasses. These, being jigmade, can be finished complete with the exception of the borefor the pin fit and retained in stock. It will be noted that eventhough the brass is loose top and bottom it will not work upand down in the rod opening on account of it
