Eureka!  for some reason I thought that the e shaft had gear teeth.  seeing
Richard's pic I realize that it simply has a lobe that must rotate inside
the rotor (duh!) which provides the "crankshaft" depicted in the other
diagrams.  this is how the rotor provides rotation to the output shaft. I
know I am setting myself up as the idiot, but I would guess that I'm not
alone.   kevin
