Wheel spokes

[NW Mailing List]

Very interesting.  I had always assumed that counterweights were centered exactly opposite the pin holding the rods.  While that appears true for the front and middle A drivers, it is obvious from the drawing that it is not true for the main driver.  Would this be because the added weight of the main rod throws the balance off-center?

  Richard,

  I'm surprised no one else has answered this yet. The number is 15. 

  You can see drawings of the drivers at the following addresses:
