The Rear Axle and Drive
The rear axle on PYRTE is basically a simple 12 inches long x 3/4 inch diameter steel shaft, supported by two phosphor bronze bearings attached to the side plates of the tender. It is live - meaning that as the crankshaft rotates the axle turns.
The drive from this axle is carried to the driven hubs by key steel sat in keyways
