Tinkering



This linkage provides endless obsessive tinkering opportunity.
This is the sort of thing that is the very reason I am not done and driving this project.
There are kits out there, in catalogs, which I could just order. They have most all of this sorted out.
That kinda seems like cheating to me, though.
So, here is version 3.5 of the Rube Goldberg progressive carburetor and transmission kick down mousetrap linkage.
Everything seems to move in the right directions and some adjustment is built in
There is no fancy math/geometry work or detailed design drawings going on in this process, though maybe there should be. I just try to make it so it seems right.
