The illustrated flywheel holder was introduced several years ago by the Stevens Experimental Company, Waukegan, Illinois. Because of the wider range of flywheels as a result of larger diameters, Stevens has further extended the tool's usefulness by increasing the strap's length another four (4) inches.
The holder is an efficient, easily manipulated, timesaving tool. It prevents flywheels from turning by means of friction against the direction of applied pressure when the strap is wrapped around the flywheel, figure 2.
The complete holder, and extra straps, are available only from STEVENS EXPERIMENTAL COMPANY, 2015 Grand Avenue, Waukegan, Illinois at the following net unit prices, f.o.b. Waukegan, Illinois:
STEVENS UNIT PART NO. DESCRIPTION PRICE (net)
S-17 Flywheel Holder Complete $3.95 None Extra strap for holder #S-17 $2.25
Illinois resident dealers add 3½% state sales tax.
The foregoing new price for the flywheel holder with the increased strap length is in effect now. Please change your Stevens price lists accordingly.
Do not order this flywheel holder from Johnson Motors, Outboard Marine Corporation Parts Depot, nor from your parts distributor.
