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.
