主权项

1. A method of assembling a crosshead comprising the steps of:
obtaining a continuous first member, said first member having an elongated head piece and a first end cap, wherein said head piece has a first end and an opposing second end along a first longitudinal axis, wherein said first end cap projects from said first end of said head piece and is transverse to said first longitudinal axis of said head piece; obtaining a continuous second member, said second member having an elongated center cap and a second end cap, wherein said center cap has a first end and an opposing second end along a second longitudinal axis, said second end cap projects from said second end of said center cap and is transverse to said second longitudinal axis; reducing an overall length without changing an overall width and an overall depth of an assembly of said first member and said second member by severing a severable portion of said second end of said head piece from a remaining portion of said first member and severing a severable portion of said first end of said center cap from a remaining portion of said second member; assembling said first member and said second member by overlaying a portion of said first member and a portion of said second member for a distance.
