Re: Williams wrench on eBay
Probably NOT the much desired "small head" Williams (and others) box wrench that will actually clear the narrow space the GAV is located.
See https://www.fordgarage.com/pages/gavwrench.htm for a pix. Any of the Williams, Armstrong, or others "industrial wrenches" are of course collectable in their own right. I've been passionate on "Engineers wrenches" for a while now. One remembers the "racks" in the Power Plant Machine shop from 1/4" all the way up to about 5" There was a 7" over in the corner for adjusting the pulverizer springs - but it didn't have a space on the rack.

Re: Williams wrench on eBay
Hello Joe K, does your thread mean that you were adjusting springs on the Raymond Bowl Mills manufactured by Combustion Engineering, Inc.? Ed

Those are generally for slide and apron locks on an old lathe.

Re: Williams wrench on eBay
Thread drift here. B&W "Type D" which had the round brass B&W logo plate on the side. One assumes they were made by subcontractors.
Salem Harbor Station Units 1 & 2 built post WWII. Now replaced by "Footprint Power" which is a natural gas fired combined cycle plant on 1/4th the space. The 7" was a "man-sized" wrench. But used in lieu of the slugging wrenches as it afforded a more "precise" (ha,ha) adjustment of spring tension. Back when men were men - and women were glad of it... (WARNING Sexism Alert.) Joe K

Re: Williams wrench on eBay
I have a special low profile one I use and those are way too thick. Massive grinding to make them work. . They have to fit between the hex and carb body and there is hardly any space there .
Don’t expect them to work without a lot of rework . |
