Roberts straight line linkage

S. Heslop:
I think the advantage would be that rotary joints are much easier to make accurately than linear slides. I imagine crossheads and guides would've taken some effort and machinery to make in the days before flat bar stock, where as for this you can just cast the beams and only worry about the ends.

SwarfnStuff:
It just so happens that one of the chaps in my local model engineering club is actually building one of these.
   All my fault for sending him the info.  :lol: 
So far he is happy with his progress, so here's waiting.

   Hopefully I will be able to get some pics or even better video to post in due course.
