(...) What you are thinking of is generally referred to as a "multi stage hydraulic ram", but as far as I can ascertain, that is not how real multi sectioned booms with more than 3 sections work. An engineer friend of mine suggested that using this (...) (25 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

Neat! I'd often thought about trying something like this! When I was a kid, (pre-technic!!) I built a gantry crane that used a complex series of cables (string) and pulleys. I only had 1 (4.5V) motor at the time, so all movement had to be controlled (...) (25 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Jennifer, (...) 3-sectioned crane! I also thought how THIS might work in real an came up with that kind of cable-mechanism you used! But I never was able to fit it into a technic construction ;-(( But how does a real multi sectioned boom work? (...) (25 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

I saw <set:8521 Flare> and <set:8522 Spark> yesterday. Not for the first time, of course, but it was the first time I looked at the number of pieces on the boxes. Spark had 33 pieces, and Flare had 42. In the Lugnet Guide, and in a LS@H catalog (...) (25 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

A while back--a year or more--I saw a great model v8 technic engine one somebody's site. Of course I have no idea who. It had a LOT of good pictures from all angles, and I think a scene of the engine block suspended from a stand with that lego (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)
