Hi Ovyyus,
In regards your MT drawings, is it just me or have you not finished putting up all the available drawings, I don't seem to be able to access some of them, maybe I have a problem with my PC???? Thanks in advance.

: Hi All,
: On Bessler's so called 'toys page', (MT138 at http://www.orffyre.com/mt121-143.html) there are 5 illustrations labeled A to E.
: E is obvious, so too is C & D. But A & B remain a little more mysterious. I've heard A & B referred to as a 'Jacobs Ladder', but I have my doubts about this because the depicted hinge points are not how a Jacobs Ladder works (a Jacobs Ladder typically uses fabric straps fixed around the segments) .
: If A & B are front and side elevations of the same device or toy, then what is that Bessler trying to illustrate here? Any suggestions?
: Regards, ovyyus
