I know this is late. My hat's off to you, sir! What a cool machine you have made! When I was a younger fellow, I worked in a textile mill and I am impressed with the effort to make this!
Is there any way you could run this with a better microphone? Does it still exist? I would like to use the sound in a project with your permission, happy to discuss.
Hello. This machine interests me very much. I hope to be able to build one on the same principle with my humble means, for my granddaughters. Your video is quiet detailed yet I could not extract all the planning details. May I please ask for your clarifications? I recognize 2 X 4 positions turntables and 2 X 5 positions. I guess their diameters vary? I guess, by looking at the toothed wheels below deck, that there is a speed ratio between the 2 sorts? those of 5 positions turning faster? 5 to 4 ? I imagine to notice 2 distributors: one left-right between the 4 positions turntables? and one in the center? or is it in the center only a smooth gliding wheel? Many thanks, Emanuel
Emanuel, details for this flat-braid braiding machine have been published in the Sheffield Meccano Guild Journal No 138 for June 2020. You are on the right track though, but could I suggest one rather more straightforward, say the Compact Servetti braiding machinepublished in Constructor Quarterly No 111 for March 2016? It is also here on RU-vid.
Sorry Bert, I thought I had replied to this one. Yes indeed, it does seem that way. What is needed is the means of controlling the speed so that the effect does not occur, something which I do not have with this model.
Thnaks John. I tried it on your white paper and the greens were horribly dark. Neil Speirs siggested the brown paper yonks ago, and I use it pretty well all the time.
@@grahamjost stick to the brown then. I prefer it. Also less reflection and better contrast with zinc. I can make that light brown disappear with just one tap.
Lot's of action going on in all directions. If that is displayed at an expo, I reckon it needs to be on a turntable so that people can see all the sides.
Thanks John. I'm going to redo the turntable bit to pause awhile at the back brfore continuing on to the front. So a new, hopefully improved, movie coming up..
görebildiğim kadarıyla ikinci iplik diyer ipliğin karşısında burada ve makaralarda karşılıklı dönüm yapıyorlar çıkan mazemeyi görüp bakmak lazım tabi. birde kullanıp bakmak hoş
It's long continupus narrow strip from our Jack Parsisson (Meerlu), Bert. It's an absolute boon when you need long lengths. See my recent loco videos where three full lengths are sandwiched between each pair of Angle Girders to form each rail for the Elektrikit Busheels to run in..
Thankyou. But I hope you realise it is not my original design. I've just doubled the ball runs and, hopefully, now got it working as it should have been all along!
Hi Alan, no. I understood the idea was that it should be held in one hand and operated by the other. ANother has stretched the limits with his motorised Meccanograph saying that flicking a switch constitutes operating by the other. Tsk, tsk ...
No, sorry. Meccano models do not last forever and they certainly do not work forever either! There are always little matters that need attention, and although the builder must fix those, that cannot be expected of a buyer who would rightly become infuriated in no time.
