Each cam (12) has a hole (20) therethrough which has a groove (22) in its surface at a predetermined angular position. The shaft (24) has a plurality of cam receiving portions (24a) thereon which are spaced along the shaft and each have an outer peripheral surface (26) which is a close fit in the hole (20) in one of the cams (12).
