Anti-Friction Conveyor

An illustration of an anti-friction conveyor

An illustration showing how to construct Shield's anti-friction curve. "R represents the radius of the shaft, and C1, 2, 3, et., is the center line of the shaft. From o, set off the small distance oa; and set off a1 - R. Set off the same small distance from a to b, and make b2 = R. Continue in the same way with the other points, and the anti-friction curve is thus constructed.
