I know that this has been discussed before, but since
my short term memory is not what it once was, would
you please discuss this subject again?
What I am referring is the passage in K. N. Harris'
book "Model Stationary and Marine Engines", page 133,
where he describes the construction and use of "Saddle
Keys".
May I assume that the keyway in the wheel is broached
or filed as usual and the shaft is left plain?
Also, as to "round keys", would two 5-40 (5 BA) screws
installed 180 degrees apart be proper for a 1/2" shaft
with half the hole in the wheel and half in the shaft?
