sporty said:you are very kind danger. thanks for your advice. and your helpfulness.
It's not so much that I'm kind, as it is that I love an opportunity to both assist someone and exercise my mind at the same time. And believe me, most of my ideas are way off base. I have no education, so everything that I come up with is something that I would do with available tools and supplies. Anything that I've ever built was based upon car parts, typewriters (my favourite), VCR's... I believe that there was part of a goat involved in the last one...
Anyhow, back to the chase...
Rather than using the set-screw situation that I mentioned originally, the main thought was to utilize an over-centre cam with the "follower" built into it. I mentioned the set-screw only to illustrate the point about not needing full thread engagement.
I really am too burned out right now to post any more, but I'll get back to you tomorrow.
