    This is an old video but explains things well. Just happened to run across it again and thought I would share.

    This guy, Ascher Shapiro, he made 39 of these films in the 1960's, most are still worth watching today. He was a Nerd, before being a Nerd was cool !!! Roger

    Makes me wonder, who has cleaned up their jury struts and has anyone thought of cleaning up the gear at all?

    you are right: nice winterjob to aerofoil the Jurystruts!!
    In my local bookshop there are profiles (to attach large poster to) that I'll try...
    Tx for the film - I saw it before, but couldn't find it. Now I bookmarked it..

    Been thinking about the gear, may run some numbers on drag to see if it is worth it.
