Very nice work, as always, CL Janey.
Tread links for the cablecar might have been more expensive and may look a
little less elegant, but they grip the horizontal gears far more reliably than
string does horizontal pulleys, and one can span a much greater distance with
much less vertical support (or even none)with a lot less tension than one can
with string.
Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers

Hmmmm... you have made a good point... I will try out the string for this next
show but I might just have to revert to the chain.

Evil twin? (Or good twin, I guess, depending on your point of view).

Yes, she is the good twin, I have tied her to the building table and I am
allowing her sort. Hopefully she wont be bothering the nice ppl of lugnet any
further.
