[edit] Fillet of Laurentian?

The article says the 421s had "a rolled fillet crankshaft". Huh? I presume it meant "billet". Can somebody clarify? Trekphiler 21:41, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

No, it not a typo. The fillet is the area at the extreme ends of the rod journals, kind of a sunken in area before the smooth machined part reaches the unfinished part of the crank between the rod jouurnals. A rolled-fillet is stronger than a standard one.--King V 23:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
