Ahh, the genius I was looking for. I've seen the sliding worm gear "cliche"
before, but my worm gears were in use ;-). I'm still wrapping my mind around
how to effectively use the differential (I'm not an ME), so I'm really going
to have fun figuring out how Nussbaum's design works. Thanks a lot for
tracking the link down for me!!

| (...) Nice work, I think there are at least two other approaches to this problem. You can implement a rack that'll slide away once the lever motion is complete. You'll probably have to use two rubber bands to make sure the gear will "catch" the rack (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)
