Abstract
A blade control rod system for controlling blades of a gas turbine stator is provided with at least one rod for controlling an associated blade. The blade includes a shaft about which the blade pivots with one end of the rod being engaged on the blade. The control rod system includes a projection which extends beneath a portion of at least one adjacent rod, so that the accidental loosening of a nut which secures the rod on the shaft of the blade is not sufficient to allow the rod to become detached.
