Sometimes it is not easy to get perfect geometry out of LEGO.
I’ve been wrestling with geometries to get the pumps just the right distance
apart, and also having the compression strokes force the pumps through thier
full range.

This sort of work is much easier, if you’re working with larger distances.
Getting a circle between 2 and 3 studs wide to spin is NOT easy. Good luck.

I ended up using a little geometry and trignometry, and a C program to help
run through the possible geometric combinations...... Never done that
before.

You should post a screen-shot or two. I’m interested to see what kind of data
you came up with. I’m sure it’s not written in a “presentable” format, but
personally, I really don’t care. I’d just like to see it. (Actually, I’m not
even interested in the exact data, I just want have a look at your thought
process...)

All the holes in 1x2's are axle holes, so the make the center connector of the radial compressor free to turn I had to use a (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)
