(...) I used the geometry from the alternative model of 8868 crane truck for a long time (this was a bin lorry). However, I found that raising the bottom end of the piston up off the beam that the valve is attached to is a good idea as it helps to (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks! Let me return the compliments: I really like your site as well. You have done a great job with the renderings and provide excellent information. Your site reads like a technical journal. I like it a lot. I want to build my own version (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) It just so happens that I have a good geometry :^) (URL) Very true. I'll have to try that. Thanks for the idea! Sure. It is always a pleasure to talk to you Mike. (...) Kevin (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

(...) You really don't *need* both sides actuated, but it allows one to raise the platform as well. Not really necessary, I suppose. I presume you mean two pistons ganged end-to-end. I think this would work much better, but so far have not found any (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

I used the same geometry for pistons flipping switches for a long time, but decided to see if I could come up with something better. The new geometries take less parts than my older geometry, and get better range of motion. My old tried and true (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)
