Re: Rod Ring Spacing
Some of the ring spacing's above were done in order to reduce the price of the rod. Not because that is the 'best' or 'correct' spacing.
That is shown on the Shelford, Amwell and Amwell SP which have exactly the same tapers for each joint according to Chapmans.

I was told this some time ago by a very well respected builder ... it was an attempt in the '60's to reduce costs to try to compete with the cheaper imports coming into the country at the time.Olly wrote:Some of the ring spacing's above were done in order to reduce the price of the rod.
Ljm, Sir ... thanks for your post ... an invaluable resource.
