aerohead · 05-13-2011, 05:27 PM

completed preliminary side elevation images of Prius/integrator/trailer this A.M.,made copies first thing here at Copy-Pro today,and will work tonight on plan-view and rear elevation images after I get shop squared away for Viking.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also working on a dynamic model of gap-filler mechanism made from cereal box and push-pins which allows 'testing' of concepts.
I think I've 'nailed' the side panel articulation but need to spend a bit more time to prove that I've not gone down an intellectual cul de sac.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Al can help me tomorrow,I'll post the side elevation stuff,also Gary's photos.
