Members DanHolland Posted October 17, 2021 Members Report Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) @silverkrown & @Constabulary Wow, amazing work!!! This is what the internet is for in my humble opinion! I'll start measuring and comparing to your images (probably this tuesday), will report back asap. Thanks!!! Dan ps: oh yes, the thread I'm using is a middle of the road thread for making sails, don't have the exact specs but it's very strong... Edited October 17, 2021 by DanHolland Quote
Members DanHolland Posted October 18, 2021 Members Report Posted October 18, 2021 Hi Y'all, I did some measurements (metric) and uploaded the pictures to the album. (I can do more detailed accurate measurements if desired) It looks very similar to 2nd phone screenshot of @silverkrown Furthermore it looks identical to 5464 as dislplayed in the shuttle brochure, it mentions: "mit Lochspannung" which translates as "with hole tension". This makes me think it might actually be complete, the 2nd screenshot utilises these 'holes' to create a pre-tension... It seems to be the simplest design, without any external leafsprings (there is one at the bottom of the shuttle to push up the bobbin) What do you gentlemen think? There is some wear obvious wear on the pointy side, which rests on the lower caliper bracket in the pic below. ..Still wondering about the rather big clearance, I made a video of it in the album... @silverkrown, could you perhaps forward this to the instagram contact and ask him? Best! Dan Quote
