Kevin, it looks like you are making strides to create a sound compressor. This will be of great importance (of course) as this will be the heart of the beast. Once this stage of the project is conqured, a major hurdle will have been obtained. Good (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

Sometimes it is not easy to get perfect geometry out of LEGO. I've been wrestling with geometries to get the pumps just the right distance apart, and also having the compression strokes force the pumps through thier full range. I ended up using a (...)

Ross- It's me again, Vineet. Every time I see your crane I have the urge to praise it; every time I look at it there's something to marvel at. For instance, your idea of using a transmission shifting lever (8448, 8466) to control the winches, now (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, FTX)
