Longshot request...
Wondering if someone might have drawing or would be able to get me the full dimensions of the cylinder for the 3x4" 5hp Fred Semple single (and/or the HP cylinder on the 3+5x4 v-compound, which is the same) including the valve stem to piston rod distance (or piston rod centerline to eccentric centerline).
Thank you all for your help.

Thank you very much for that!
It's interesting they don't give dimensions for the overall thickness of the valve chest, valve chest face to valve stem centerline, nor the valve face to cylinder bore center. Seems a lot of "fitting" was needed in our toys because a lot of dimensions were never given...
