[Mgs] Mgs Digest, Vol 76, Issue 18

[Glenn Schnittke]

The crank will fit. There was some reason I think the older slabside 
crank is a better design, but I can't think what it is right now. The 
only thing that changed, that I'm aware of,  was the shape of the 
counterweightsand I can't see how it would have been cheaperto retool 
for the angled onesso they must have had another reason. Less metal? New 
union steward?
