    Regarding the method of fastening the flywheel and rope plate, I was doing something totally unrelated yesterday and happened to notice the parted-out carcass of a KB1A, with the flywheel and rope plate still there. The acorn nut was loose, so I took off the rope plate and found that the flywheel was attached securely with a thin nut. My guess is that this was probably the correct way to do it.

    Long live American manufacturing!
