I received several responses to my question about drive shaft phasing.
Thank you all for your responses.
I had four responses that said my drawing/understanding was correct. The two
drive shaft yokes should be oriented in the same plane.
I had two responses that said the drive shaft yokes should be opposed 90
degrees.
I had one response the boggled my feeble mind.
All agreed that mine, with one yoke being 20 degrees different from the other,
is wrong.
Conclusion:
1.) Since I can't decide if driveshaft (one word) or drive shaft (two words) is
correct, I'm going to call it a propeller shaft as the original engineers
intended. I can't imagine that propellershaft would be correct. (we sometimes
have trouble with English in the deep south ;-) )
2.) I don't know what I'm going to do about propeller shaft phasing. More
research will have to be conducted. I will report any new information to the
list. All explanations I received seemed plausible. Please, any of you that
haven't responded, please do so. An on-list discussion might be helpful to many.
3.) Everyone should buy a Triumph List hat. I got mine yesterday - they look
great! Thanks Ralph! The hat is on my head as I write.
