Rollers for Cropper Peerless No2 - different size trucks?!
Hello, the cleaning up of my Peerless is going well and Im now onto trying to order new covers for the rollers. But, I have just noticed that one of the three pairs of trucks are a slightly bigger diameter than the other two. Hmm. Im not sure if Ive somehow ended up with a set from something else, or if this is how its been designed.
Can’t quite get my head around if the bigger one will work or not. The holders for the rollers are on springs so I wonder if they will sort of automatically adjust. I’m wondering if the larger one is the one at the top that collects ink from the inkwell.
Anyone seen this before, or can shed any light? Many thanks!

how rollers attach to press 3.jpeg
Rubber is same size as smaller trucks on all 3 roller cores.
bigger trucks are used on top roller for getting ink from the ink well and spreading ink on disk it never touches type.
the bigger trucks holds it above type.
Some presses use 3rd roller as a overload for big solids yours will not due to only coming half way down over type.
