Basically, I was confronted with a situation in which I wanted to pass
powered crossaxles through a Large Technic Turntable (without restricting
its motion, obviously). It is fairly straightforward to pass a single
powered crossaxle through the Large Turntable's center, but I wanted two.

You can see an image of my design (MLCAD screen capture, 30kb) here:

This is cool. I just wanted to mention that MLCad is a really decent
program. I hope Michael will develop it further for the Mac, but then again,
have a look at Dave baum's site for info on his graphics for
his new book:

One tip, you might want to convert the images from MLCad to GIFs - which are
better at compressing line drwaings and uniformly shaded areas. JPG
compression
tends to leave ghosts around sharp contrast points, which makes gears hard
to understand....
