White House K10 - a story of regeneration

[Ninemeister_imp]

To measure up the dinner plate accurately I obviously had to remove it from the wheel first, so that was this afternoon's job.

The "floating" discs are mounted on what can only be described as "bobbins" (which I'm guessing are made from titanium due to its heat insulating properties), stainless steel shims between the disc and bell with stainless steel conical spring washers under the head of the bobbin. This clever little bit of design allows free thermal expansion of the disc and protects the alloy bell from wear and heat.

Anyway, easy strip down and a quick measure with verniers and the job was done...
