Abstract
The outer surface of a slider block increases radially with increasing distance from the crankshaft for at least a portion of its height. As a result when the drive pin of the crankshaft deflects under load the slider block moves therewith as a unit. The surface of the slider block maintains an essentially uniform oil film thickness over an extended area due to its shape.
