Fig. 5.39 Lewis foundation bolt
This type of foundation bolt is not commonly used for fixing machines. However, the
principle is advantageously used for lifting huge stones. For this, a groove, similar to the
pit is chiselled in the stone and the bolt is fitted in. The top end of the bolt may be forged
into an eye and used for lifting purposes.
5.11.5 Cotter Foundation Bolt
It is used for fixing heavy machines. It has a rectangular slot at its bottom end, to receive a
cotter. For putting the bolts in position, the foundation bed is first made, providing holes
for inserting cotters. Figure 5.40 shows a cotter foundation bolt in position. A cast iron
washer (W) placed as shown, provides bearing surface for the cotter (C).
