Thank You ovyyus. My observation of the Orffyreus wheels on the drawing page of Scots website seem to show the pendulem at position 22.5 or 23.5.Either this is a taunt to frustrate or a crital angle that must be adhered to.Do you know of any bessler references to angles or what angular measurement scale would have been used in the 1700's.Thanks ....Joel Wright ......: Hi Joel,
: The "toy hammer men" have been reproduced as accurate as I can get them from the original. Of course, nothing is perfect - I'd say +/- 1-2deg. You should also remember that my 'original' is a photo of a hand carved print block print and is probably pretty 'loose' itself. Hope this helps.
: Regards, ovyyus

: : Ovyyus, how accurate is the angle reproduction of the toy hammer men, I believe in figure 138. I get 23.5 lean back angle of the men.But I'm working from the computer screen.Could you possibly check your drawings and set me straight on the mans lean back,lean front angle.Thank You..................
