(...) Yes. But that is only a guess from the pictures. (...) I doubt it would affect the sturdiness. And it will be interesting to see how sturdy it is. ROSCO (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

Sobasically whatyou're saying is that the third and only the third is operated by the chain (or the string in JC's idea)? Would that make the third section sturdy? Because from what I've seen it doesn't look sturdy at all. Thanks. (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

IMHO TLC is not producing longer cylinders becase when piston is sticked out it can become bent in two ways 1. as a rod 2. in the place where rod's connected to the piston (inside) it is a very big problem to make piston's rod stiff and seal it up (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Vineet, Jennifer Clark's Ideas page describes it very well: (URL) you look at the diagram and imagine the bottom left half of the red cable flipped vertically, so it is attached at the top (where the other half is attached) rather than the (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) It probably works just like a forklift chain. It doubles the extension distance but cuts the mechanical advantage in half. TLC probably is using it the same way they use the chain in the new forklift set. One serious question does arise- Why (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

I think that the administrators are not so happy about people discussing leaked images on LUGNET. At least this early revealing of the new sets may stop the annual "technic is dead" whine-fest. I think that technic is better than ever before. (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

Could you explain to me how the chain would be used in extending the boom sections? I am very curious (if possible, could you post a few drawings or sketches?). Thanks. (20 years ago, 15-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
