Hello, Im relatively new to technic, but I wanted to design a working • cargo
elevator for one of my space projects. the idea is to use a 32 x 32 plate • as
the elevator floor. Im not sure if im using the correct terminology for • my
explanation to follow, so bear with me. The construct I had in mind for • the
lifting force is a pinned crossbeam arrangement that scissors up when
compressed from the sides.

I can't offer any LEGO set references that can help you, but you may want
to check out this site:

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rapidproto/mechanisms/tablecontents.html

It is a large document (many printed pages) called 'Introduction to
Mechanisms'.  You may find some information in there on the principles that
you're investigating.

Best of luck,
Allan
