3" Burrell Traction Engine build.

 Burrell Traction Engine,Gears Part 2.... And some other bits. The slow gear and brake drum arrangement as delivered, no machining has been carried out, just checking if it will fit on the lathe, and how true the casting is. Since the fast gear blank won't fit on the milling machine, I've parked that until I can decide how to cut the teeth. I decided to make a start on the shaft tubes and use the new fixed steady I bought at the Warwick show. This has been slightly modified to raise it to my center height and had a small overhaul and a coat of paint. From m emory, I think it was a bargain at around £30 . The 2nd of the shaft tubes this is more awkward as the chucking stub has been ground off flush. This was as delivered from the foundry however for the smaller lathe it's going to be harder to get the first center drilled, and running true.  More to follow ...
