Mr. John Payne is currently the tip of the spear with his wedge machine efforts on Vlad. (That’s, Vlad the Impaler, of course. Cool name for a remote skewering device, huh?)
Some serious iron frame wedgies going on here. Make those strands work for a livin’.
This is capital work! Nice and straight on the springs too. Just like Mr. Philon ordered.
I am hoping John will be able to make a first thrust at this whole question of “balance of power transfer”. Wedge balancing a ballista is the game. Doing it in a way that generates lots of power to boot, is the trick we must master.
Meanwhile I am setting up to cut out Phoenix’s washers and vernier plates. Chips can fly in earnest next week.
