Gerry`s Beam Engine, part on the drawing missing

[BOB BLACKSHAW 1Participant @bobblackshaw1]

I started to make the Gerry`s beam engine a few years ago and gave up for some reason but had made the cylinder and a few other parts. I have started to see If I can finish it but with out the side plates but use a central pillar and use the dimensions on the drawing for the main bushes to locate. I know why I gave up on it as some of the parts are not on the drawings, has any one here got the dimensions for the crankshaft connecting rod centre to centre, I could have a try at guessing but I bound to be wrong.

Thanks Bob

Thanks Geoff,

I searched Gerry`s beam engine metric and found 21 drawings but this didn't cover all of the engine. But I've done the imperial drawing and still cant find the crankshaft connecting rod.

Julius' metric drawings give details of the various parts plus a ctr to ctr distance on the assembly drawing, you would have to see how that compares to your imperial parts but should get you in the right ball park the

 

EDIT check your PMs
