Back at Currie, which is fortuitously only a few miles from CPP, the axle casing was placed in this straightening jig once the axle pads had been fully welded. A length of round stock was passed through the bearing carriers in a third member used for just this purpose. A solid steel tool that takes the place of an outer axle bearing was slid onto the stock, and the press was used to "adjust" the casing at the inner end of the axle tubes until the bearing substitute was a perfect fit.
