Abstract: An anti-backlash device for use in connecting a rotary drive to the drive shaft of a fuel injection pump, comprising a hub member within which at least one fixing pin is arranged to be moveable transversely of the hub axis, so that an abutment end of the fixing pin can be brought into contact with an end portion of such a drive shaft when the device is in use. Each fixing pin is in screwthreaded engagement with the hub member, and means are provided to rotate the or each fixing pin, thereby to bring about contact between the abutment end of the fixing pin and an end portion of such a drive shaft by virtue of the said screwthreaded engagement.
Abstract: Volumetric metering equipment comprising an injector mounting block by which injectors of a multi-line fuel injection system can be mounted on the equipment. A measuring device is in communication with the mounting block via a feed line to allow test fluid to pass from the injectors to the measuring device when the equipment is in use. The measuring device is constructed to provide signals which are indicative of the amount of test fluid received by the device. Point-of-injection detectors are arranged adjacent to the injectors for determining which of the signals relate to an individual injection.
