They are for alinging in the excentrical lathe, to make the big end axles (of whatever you call them). For an 8C, you can cut and grind 2 at a time, then reclamp the crankshaft 90 degrees turned, and do another set of 2.

A grinding machine !
A grinding machine who can make 20mm wide endlos chips ?
A normal 3 ton lathe would have a problem to make chips like this . And the krankshaft is still not ready machined for grinding , the yournals are not round .

20mm wide cuts [should this be 20mm deep?]

No, wide. See the picture posted by Jacobug. It is about the width of the chips.

The debris that is usually coming off in enormous amounts, and if you don't clean up often, gets grabbed by the part, flying around dangerously.

I do very little grinding,although I do use a surface grinder for small parts like Bugatti valvecaps for adjustment.The debris is usually called grit,or swarf.

OK, if you go in the metal , what ever you call it , if it is 20 mm wide , just make a test .
2mm to 4mm is still OK. But 20mm or 25mm is alien. You need a very big machine like a 10 ton lathe .

And that is probably what he had. A big machine.

I recall having seen a pump factory finishing cast iron dredging pumps (approx 5 meter in diameter). The chips / swarf that came off, were small chips, probably 10-15cm long, and 4-5cm wide (they were correcting the flange for the lid).

The pump was horizontal, by the way...

Bugatti had some wonderful machines,If you look at the T57 brochure there is a photo of a T57 crankshaft being turned.Horizontally naturally.
