(...) It indead is a great model. But is a pitty the quality of the images is very poor. The crane is a very well succeeded copy of the original Liebherr crane (it probably is an LTM1300 of the German crane hire and heavy hauler Prangl). I'm (...)

(...) It only now occur to me that it's animation we're talking about, not filming. In that case it does not matter hos long it takes etc. between the shots (sure, fast is better it don't need to be 30fps fast). Then you could easily build a (...)

Oh, forgot to mention; I get DNS-errors (unresolved hostname) a lot on your site, don't know if it's on my end, yours or inbetween. Hitting reload helps! I don't experience these problems on other sites so it might be on your end, or the DNS-server (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to 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 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)
