Abstract
The mounting arrangement employs a pedestal and a bearing housing which is pivotally mounted on the pedestal independently of the machine housings. The shaft ends are coupled together by a rigid coupling and are each journaled in bearings mounted within the bearing housing. The axis of the pivot bearing is horizontal and disposed in the plane of the shafts.
