CRANKSHAFT EQUIVALENT LENGTHS (By Carter's Formula).

| | B.60 | Ph.III |
|---|---|---|
| Crankpin | 4.1 | 3.94 |
| Journals: front | 2.42 | 3.32 |
| rear | 2.9 | 3.32 |
| centre | 2.64 | 3.32 |
| inter | 2.1 | 2.36 |
| Web | 5.65 | 4.0 |

NATURAL FREQUENCIES.

Natural frequency of B.60 system 15150 vib/min.
" " " flat 12 cyl. system 12440 vib/min.

For the sake of comparison these frequencies have been calculated for systems having no crankshaft dampers and no masses in front of No.1 main bearing.
