problems with incorrect measurements

[Rolf GratzeParticipant @rolfgratze13279]

Hello everybody,

I'm busy building Pyrte, using the handbook of George Hughes. I got as far as doing the drive and now I'm facing some problems referring to measurements.

Firstly: the centre of the driving pin is said to be 1 and 7/8 inches off the centre of the rear wheel. But when building the inner water pump drive and the large cogs of the drive,I'm advised to put the holes for the driving pin tubes 1 inch off the centre. So what is correct ??

Secondly: the driving pin tube needs a boring of 3/8 inch to be fit for the dribing pin of 3/8 inch. Later on, when the making of the driving pin is described, the diameter of the driving pin is only 1/4 inch which would result in too much space between the driving pin and the inner diameter f the driving pin tube.

I live in Germany and I'm struggling hard to understand all the written instructions, so I would be happy if anyone could help me in solving the described prolblems

Thanks very much for your support

Rolf
