About
A 1.9 m by 3 m bedplate and painted housing carry two bearing pedestals, a 1.2 m six spoke flywheel with a rim band and a crank web opposite it. The connecting rod runs to a crosshead sliding between two guide bars into a stuffing box. Overall size 1.9 x 2.04 x 3.02 m in metres, +Y up, +Z forward, resting on y=0. Nodes flywheel and crank turn on the same shaft axis at y=1.44, z=-0.3; node crosshead slides on Z; node rod pivots on the crosshead pin and slides with it. Clips: spin turns the flywheel one full revolution over 3 s, driving an exact crank and slider cycle. Node TRS animation on named nodes only; no skinned rig, skeleton, collision or navigation data.
