Detects Balance.

Detecting the unbalanced portion
Of any revolving mass, such as
flying wheel of an engine or a dy
namo armature. is declared a simple
matter by the inventor of a device
that is called a balance detector."
The theory of the instrument is based
on the principle that any revolving
body or disk, perfectly balanced and
loosely supported on it's axis, will.
when revolving. seek its own course
Of revolution and rotate steadily, ir
respective Of the course Of its axis.
The device consists essentially OF
case or housing. Through this runs
an axle, universally supported, on
which is rotating disk. The bearing
member protrudes from the casing
and. when testing, is placed against
The end of the shaft Of the piece OF
machinery in question. This is al
lowed 10 rotate until II has attained
the maximum speed of the shaft. In
the casting is a pointer which shows
the trend Of the motion, greatly ex-
aggerated The machine is then stop
ped, with the device still connected,
and the pointer will then show the
side out OF balance.

after with that outfit was the big blue
