 | | 4 section boom

I understand how this works (using the chain to extend the third boom). What is now confusing me is how this would be used in a 4 section boom, or do the lego crane builders use a different approach to these booms? If so, could someone explain to me (...)

(...) Best to wait till the set is released. There are many ways to do it. And it looks like it IS set up as a loop, I guess maybe using a couple of the wide track links, but maybe not. I'm guessing as much as you. ROSCO (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

My next question is about how the chain/string is setup. In JC's design, the string isn't set up like a loop. I can see how this would work, but what is confusing me is how they would set up the chain as a non-loop object. Could you tell me how this (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) 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)

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)
