Abstract
A cranking apparatus comprising a shaft within a sleeve for insertion into a machine casing containing a rotor. The shaft carries a friction wheel for tangentially engaging a circular surface on the rotor, so that when the shaft is rotated the rotor will be cranked. The shaft may be angularly adjusted with respect to the rotor axis, and the friction wheel resiliently urged against the rotor surface. The sleeve may carry a revolution counter engaging the shaft.
