Thanks, Yavor, for the precision! Yes, now I recall the crankshaft doing the rotating (in the opposite direction). Would the contra-rotary apply in both cases Sh.1 and 3)?
Next year I have to make a trip down your way so we can have a long detailed discussion -- maybe a first Balkan conference in the spring, including our serbian brothers?
