I strongly suspect this all is a fallacy. However, there is a difference when the pin (or rather its roller) is engaged on a tooth. With the suggested connection (A), it is the whole inner link that transfers the force. With (B), the force is transferred via the pin to the outer link, which is less desirable if the connection is not perfect. | |
