[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 90823, member: 456"] My twopen'orth here. I calculated the position of the contact point between cam and follower for a Vincent cam with a flat lever follower. That is the standard set up. It might be true to say that the statement '[LEFT][SIZE=4][FONT=Segoe UI][COLOR=rgb(20, 20, 20)] 'jumps' from one end of the flat follower to the other' is not correct but it is certainly true that the position changes direction rapidly and more than once during one cycle of the cam rotation. It does not proceed continuously from one end to the other and back again. Some of the positional changes are very rapid and that is why I do not believe that a roller based cam follower would be useful with the standard Vincent layout. The problem is that if a cam were designed to work with a roller follower, even one on a lever, the cam shape would be different and I do not have calculations for that.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
