A while back during conversation with another Europan it was explained to me
that a Scottish europa had a a unique "effortless" undercarriage mechanism that
used an alternate 180 degree throw arm... this intrigued me... so i sat there
for about a week and nutted it out and achieved a comparative result.
The mechanism uses a third lever running off the existing OEM throw lever.
Measurement of the mechanical forces required to action the undercarriage
returned very casual numbers regarding physical operator effort required.
Attached are three images showing geometry for retracted, midway, and extended.
It is a very elegant solution.
The extra unchanging yellow canted line marks the OEM factory extended position.
During retraction the undercarriage swing arm raises approximately an inch
above and then down into its parked position, and vise versa upon extension; it
raises slightly first, then drops down to extension.
That's all for now on this short and interesting chapter of the Obsidian Files.
