Title: Find me a topic please
Post by: Brian60 on April 29, 2017, 08:57:55 am
 
Possibly a year or so ago I saw a post on a boat build that had a working door/crewman.

I'm thinking it was a passenger craft for some reason and the detail showed the linkage of how they got the door to open and a crewman/passenger to move out of the doorway - pushed/held on the end of a wire.

Does this description ring any bells with anyone? Can anyone post a link? Or does anyone actually know how this system operated and can post a sketch or drawing of it?

Scheesh !!!   You've opened a can of worms there, Brian.

Reminds me of that giant model exhibition in Germany which has all sorts of moving objects and items from planes to trains.

I am very interested in seeing how this is done, so get your thinking caps on, fellas. 

Any ideas  ?

Well talk about chase your tail, plenty to tell you about cuckoo clocks but nothing that shows a detailed diagram :( I guess I'm back to scribbling on paper and cutting 'cams' until I get something that will work.

That is indeed the one Ray, thanks so much for finding it, I hadn't realised it was so long ago, where does time dissappear to?
