The purpose of this chart, devised by Edward White of Service Engineering, is to show what happens when rotor cone and tracking adjustments are made. The adjustments appear to the left of the center line of the rotor hub; the results to the right. Since all blades do not have the same aerodynamic characteristics, the results of the adjustments are approximate; Maintenance personnel should continue to use the applicable sections of T. O. 1H-43B-2 when tracking blades.
