See For Information Only drawing 582E227 (FIO-006). English Electric Thrust Bearings: a. The EE thrust runner is made from forged steel with a nominal thickness of 9 inches. It is a two-piece design with tongue and groove, fastened to the bottom of the thrust collar by mounting hardware. It has a nominal outside diameter of 128.5 inches and a nominal inside diameter of 51 inches. See For information Only drawing S1101/1567 (FIO-004) for the Units 13 and 14 thrust runner.
