Hi Paul
I would really appreciate your comments on the attached drawing of a

thrust bearing to be

installed in 2.17:1 ratio Ross PSRU used in a Cozy Classic pusher plane.
Thanks in advance. Bill

I can't read a tcw file. Can you send a dwg, iges or dxf file?
What kind of drawing program is that?

Paul

I don't know if this is going to work. I got the program in 1993. the name
is Turbocad for windows and was published by IMSI. If this doesn't go
through I will send a copy by snailmail.

Stupid ACAD was not able to load the dxf you sent but Rhino came to the rescue.
I loaded it into Rhino and exported as an ACADR12 dwg. ACAD has no right
to exist since it can't load its own dxf file formats.

Looks good Bill but there is something about the drawing that does not
appear to be right. Something like this will work well but you need
to show the sun gear in contact with the needle bearings in the drawing. 
Otherwise the drawing and idea is very well done.
Perhaps a few drawing lines were dropped in the conversion process.
