Revolving Crane

Built by Brian Elvidge

This is an early Super Model from around 1928. It is SML 18 from The Meccano Super Models by Geoff Wright, 1978, ABP.

It features a very good screw operated jib luffing mechanism, and an early attempt at a hoist brake, this does not work well. I have modified this to use a modern short compression spring.

As such the model works well from the leaflet.
