I am looking for material call outs for Franklin self adjusting shoes and wedges. Also called floating or automatic wedges. Santa Fe references a drawing (166-494) separate from the materials used in standard wedges. Anyone have anything on this?

Talk to Steve Sandburg. 261 has the Franklin Automatic Compensators (fancy term for spring- loaded, self-adjusting wedges) and he had new springs and other parts made for 261, so he must have drawings and specs.
