Thank You, Casey -
For a clear explanation of angles, offsets, torque, reciprocating weight, etc —
But please be aware of the consequences of your untimely insight: As a direct result of your post, Roosso is now working of a number to be recorded on the 'B' side of his all-time 45-rpm hit, 'The Ballad of Festus Frothjaw', namely "The Side-Rod Connected to the Dri-Ver / The Dri-Ver Connected to the Main-Rod / The Main-Rod Connected to the Cross-Head / The Cross-Head Connected to the Piss-Ton . . . "
- Sincerely, Willie (Wm. Claude Johnson-Barr III, Esq.)

p.s. Apologies to Roger Wigwam's faithful indigenous companion Steven Four-Knees for postponing mention of the 'Centric-Crank Connected to the Radius Rod', etc., to this postscript.
