468 THE HANDBOOK FOE PRACTICAL FARMERS 



It is found best to have the main shafting run near the center 

 of the shop, as this makes it available for running machines at 

 either side. One twelve-foot section of one-and-a-half-inch cold- 

 rolled steel shafting is sufficient for the machines shown and for 

 driving any temporary machines that may be desired, such as a 



disk sharpener. For this reason 

 the shaft is extended farther over 

 the repair floor than w^ould other- 

 wise be necessary. Three eight- 

 inch, four-point, adjustable, wick- 

 oiling drop-hangers give plenty of 

 on the lower side of the two-by-

rigidity, and when placed 

 eight-inch joists give plenty of clearance for any pulleys that 

 are likely to be used. Short hangers are preferred, as they cut 

 down the amount of vibration. 



One countershaft is required for the emery wheel, partly to 

 secure the desired change in speed, partly to make a more con- 

 venient method of throwing in and out of operation, and partly 

 to bring the belt down out of way of the operator.
