20. Q. What is to be done should the upper part of gear connection rod
break?
A. If break is close to the middle pin, do the same as for a broken
eccentric rod and also tie lower end of gear connection rod to keep it
from swinging. If break is near the top and below the jaw, first block
the bell crank and wire the connection rod fast to radius bars. If break
is through top jaw, do the same as for broken eccentric rod.
