Section 16.—COUPLINGS FOR SHAFTING.

(See also [p. 42].)

[1994]. Coupling to allow two shaft ends to run a little out of line; the centre piece has a cross feather at each end at right angles to each other, which engage with cross grooves in the shaft end pieces.

[1995]. Split sleeve coupling tightened on the shaft by two cone bushes and nuts.

[1996]. Flange coupling, with recessed grooves for the bolt heads and nuts.

[1997]. Angle coupling for shafts, instead of bevil gearing.

[1998]. Angle coupling for shafts at any angle (shown at angle of 90°) consisting of four crank pins sliding and revolving in holes bored in the shaft ends.
