Hi Dick, I am the machinist for what its worth at the Fort Smith trolley museum. I noticed you are from Ohio. I have a great interest in the Cincinnati inclines of the past and would like to view the museum someday.

Turned the rotor on the crank - was out .0035" radially, about .0015" on face, actually not bad; since the set-up takes more time than the actual cutting, I just took a skim cut to get it true.

Thanks for the ideas Dick, Are you going to skim cut the clutch basket too?

Yes, but not there yet. In the process of re-bushing the crank sprocket for the starter chain.
