<VV> 140 Crank question

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

I don't have "Bob's Book" (he doesn't sell it to my Vendor -- politics, 
apparently -- so I don't buy it, proving I can be just as big a dope as 
the next guy)

It may have pictures, it may not, I don't know, but I am told and have 
seen evidence that this mark that is described as an "&" (ampersand) may 
take a slightly different form than pictured in the character I just 
typed, perhaps more like a lower case epsilon or an infinity mark.  Or 
maybe they are not all marked the same? I have (or maybe it is "had") a 
broken 140 crank around here somewhere, but can't find either end of it 
to look at that one.

Some 164 inch cranks do seem to have another mark, sort of a three 
pointed washer like depression surrounding the pilot bushing hole, and I 
would like to know what this means -- I've seen it in both automatic and 
manual engines.

Thanks,

Bill Strickland
