set into the shaft itself rather than mounted on it. Explanation: Having looked at the references you've provided (thank you!), I think "interrupt" means what you've suggested: that the shaft consists of two parts separated by the cam. So the cam is actually an element of the shaft itself: it interrupts or comes between the two pieces of the rod either side of it, rather than being mounted on the shaft, out of line with the axis of the rod. This means that the axis of the cam can coincide precisely with the axis of the shaft. Dead center does indeed mean the exact or precise center. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2014-07-13 08:30:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (By rod I mean shaft, since the shaft is in the form of a rod.) |
