Actually, I drew it looking North, so it's actually on the "west" side of the wheel.[:-,] <br /> <br />Rather than me sending another quick draw, visualize it this way - take the driving wheel, add the 2' extended crankpin, then build a cone around the crankpin. The base of the cone will have a "sliver moon" (that's "sliver", not "silver"!) affect on the wheel when looked at in profile. This should have the effect of spreading the force of the rods around nearly the entire circumference of the wheel.
