(...) I won't try to explain it. Actually, I don't think I fully realize it, and would benefit greatly from seeing a model in action. Try studying this image: (URL) shows a break-down of the components and how they move. It's quite interesting. -TJ (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.se)

The bottom line seems to control the angle of the bucket via the parallelograms, the top wheel/line would raise the bucket into the air but what does the (...)

(...) The two top ropes work very similar to the ropes on Pehter's digger. The cut is away from the machine instead of towards, so the rope is on the top of the crowd "linkage" instead of the bottom. It's interesting how the bucket tilt mechanism (...) (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.se)
