I concur that the 524 shot is very interesting in many ways. I'd love to know the story behind the missing #2 crank pin. Hard to tell even when zoomed all the way in, but it does look as if it broke instead of being cut. I also wonder if rather than being cut off, the split brass bushing and assembly was removed from the main rod. It all should have been attached to the end of the rod by 3 or 4 (presumably tapered) bolts. Just guesses, it's always fun to ponder what really happened.
