Procedure

Obtain the necessary components to construct the counter weight assembly illustrated in figure 15.

Connect the fishplate to the steel counter weight using the #10-24 x ½”screw, washers and nut as shown

in the illustrations (Top and left).

Attach the fishplate and counter weight assembly to the end of the counter weight arm by passing the 1-

1/2” axle through the arm members and fishplate. Capture the fishplate inboard between the two 7-hole

angles. The fishplate should hang in between the 7-hole angles in such a way as to swing freely through

270 degrees of revolution or more.

Note: Add #10 washers as needed to adjust for side play between the axle and the fishplate.

The fishplate should be firmly affixed to the counter weight so that it cannot move or swing freely.

Step Five: Throwing Arm Assembly

(figure 16)

Necessary Components

Qty. Description

1 5/16 x 18” wood dowel.

1 Mast holder with #10-24 set screws

2 1/8”hex key set screws ¼-20x ¼”

2 #10-24 x ½” Phillip head machine screws

2 #10 flat washers

Procedure

Secure the mast holder to the 3” wheel using 2 #10-24 x

½” machine screws and washers as shown in figures 16-

17. Hex nuts are not required since the shaft retainer has

threaded holes to accept the #10-24 machine screws.

Fasten the 5/16” x 18” wood dowel to the shaft retainer

using the #10-24 set screws as shown.

Note: The wood dowel has holes drilled at either end to

accommodate the fastening of the release pin. The

dowel length is determined experimentally by the user. Start longer and keep testing in order to find the

optimum length.
