SSMALL crash kits have been designed and produced by Reed Cartons, Ltd., for passenger vehicles in the Reed Paper Group fleet.

Fillet Rolling Tool ANEW procedure for the fillet rolling of crankshafts is incorporated in a tool designed by V. L. Churchill and Co.. Ltd., Great South West Road, Bedfont, Feltham, Middlesex. The tool is now undergoing final development with F. Perkins, Ltd.
In use, the material at the fillet radius of the crankshaft is compressed into the journal and its side faces and this is achieved by a rolling action.
The tool comprises three body links, two of which are locked together, the remaining link being pivoted to allow assembly on the journal.
After placing round the crankshaft journal, the tool is held in place by the side bolts engaged on two or three threads and the yokes adjusted to allow a depth of 4 in. between the link members. The side bolt is then tightened to a torque figure of 40 in. lb.
thus clamping the rollers on to the journal and pressing them into the side of the journal face.
The tool is revolved five or six times, the bolt tightened to 70 in. lb. and again revolved. Finally the torque figure is raised to 100 in. lb. and the tool revolved.
