New Gear!

As you can see, the Vandercook Universal now has a new gear! I was afraid that the gear was too small to fit onto the stud but we were able to have an automotive contact through PSU look at it. He was confident that it's the right gear, and viola he got it on. It just needs to have the hole for the pin drilled out and lubrication then it should work like a charm.

I am still a bit stumped with the cylinder not rolling back past the ink drum. I was working with the cylinder bearings and had no luck. I talked with Fritz Klinke from NA Graphics, he gave tips on just how to adjust the bearings. After this conversation, I feel more confident that this is in fact the problem and have a better idea of how to adjust them.
