@ Chris

Thanks very much for the video link, I think I get it now. Its kind of similar to a planet and sun arrangement. Whoever thought that out was a very clever guy :bow:.

Thanks very much for sharing.

Best Regards

I assume that the rod attached to the botto m of the daisy wheel is just a weight to keep the daisy wheel oriented.

raynerd:
The rod attached to the bottom of the daisy wheel ensures that the wheel slides on the cam. The rod is trapped between the two pins (currently two long 10Ba screws that are mounted next to each other on the pin wheel plate. In gadget builders video you can see how the daisy wheel rod is getting pushed from side to side but the two pin are holding the wheel relatively square but yet allowing it to freely move on the cam.

I`m making this entire section again using a bearing mounted in the daisy wheel centre for smoother running.
