Abstract
This invention is a method and apparatus for quickly and infinitely adjusting the degree of eccentricity of a rotating member wherein a first rotating member is provided with interlocking means to a second member carrying means to rotate at an adjustable off-center relationship to the primary radial center of the initial rotating member. The adjustment is accomplished by an interconnecting tapered fit between the two members utilizing a critical tapered angle which is capable of locking in position by the taper itself but yet which can release when desired for adjustment.
