Here's a new flavor of the flexible axle, which should make it a bit easier to flex the ends. I'm still undecided about the main section. Having a single subfile should speed up rendering, but I doubt these will ever be high-use parts, and having (...) (25 years ago, 14-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hi all! I posted this question on the 10th of December 1999 and had no reaction since, but I cannot imagine no one is interested in this... so here I go again, because I think this is one thing we must study!
