Great reference, thanks Bill.
I had forgotten about the Geneva mechanism.
Any interest, Steve? If you'd consider filing the teeth off a gear, how
about an honest to goodness made to measure couple of Geneva mechanism parts?

No - I *won't* consider hacking away at my Lego parts - however, it may be possible to take that idea and build something that would be similar. ---...--- Steve Baker ---...--- Mail : <sjbaker1@airmail.net> WorkMail: <sjbaker@link.com> URLs : (...)
