The presence of the crank-shaft will assure the bearings being in line when the soldering is completed. The standards and bed should have matching marks made on them. The Eccentric. This can be formed by soldering two thin brass discs 1-15/16-inch diameter concentrically to the sides of a disc of 1-15/16-inch diameter and 5/16 inch thick.
Halfway along the sides bore holes to fit the spindle. Make a mark 1 inch from one end of the spindle, a second l/8 inch farther away from the first than the length of the reel. Drill 3/16-inch holes at the marks. Select two wire nails which fit the holes, and remove their heads. Next cut two 1/4-inch pieces off a tube which fits the spindle.
A 3/16-inch brass nut and screw, the first soldered to the boiler round a hole of the same size as its internal diameter, make a convenient "filler;" but a plain hole plugged with a tapered piece of wood, such as the end of a penholder, will serve.

We run it with a two-hole corn sheller, a set of 16-inch burr stones, and an elevator.
