I left the pawls to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town, But cannot help sending you this. 60° fairly exactly. About .3 or .4 About .1 or .125 3 pairs exactly diametrically oppo-site - i.e. 6 ratchets have teeth divisible by 2 but not by 6. Pin driven in pawl tightly, not to carry load but to prevent movement shewn. Scale about 5/4. .3 or .4 wide. | ||
