They are sure a sizable flywheel in scale I remember as an apprentice 55+ years ago [Saturday overtime - maintenance day] checking on the drip feed lubrication to the outboard bush bearings to two [2] large, low speed Broom & Wade air compressor, with each having a single flywheel [about 8' diameter - quite a bit taller than me] and each wheel had a series of 1/2" drillings around the outer edge near the major OD.......these were balance drillings performed during the assembly of the compressor [in London UK in the 1920's?]What is the actual weight of each of your scale flywheels?........ might be interesting to spin each wheel [individually] in the machines bushes with a variable speed source [drill?] and bring the wheels up to the nominal 100?? RPM & see what happensDerek
oops ............sorry I had the speed out x 10 fold ....... no real need for HS balance ............ Derek
Any idea how many pounds of brass and bronze swarf you and the elves have generated so far on this project?
Pretty impressive looking with the flywheels in place!Dave
