Carnegie Clevis #5

[marinaman]

Would anyone know where to find the capacity of a Carnegie #5 Clevis manufactured in 1923?

Almost any steel should stand work stresses (service level) 110 MPa tensile, 7 MPa shear. If in other material, check.

Don't know about the capacity but you can get the dimensions and calculate. Download the 1923 Carnegie Pocket Companion at

The dimensions of the #5 Clevis match those in my 2nd Edition Steel Manual (1934). I still can't seem to get a hold of that 1st edition! The allowable working stresses from the 2nd edition are attached.

Make sure you find a post somewhere from slideruleera and give him a star. He deserves it for putting this stuff where we can get it!
