Enigma Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 So would they use a handcrank for the final adjustment on the target? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtags Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yes, the mechanism operates both electrically and by hand. I'll try and remember to get some video of the operation inside the turret this week. Stay tuned for more. ~Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtags Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have received a few replies asking for a in-turret video of the traverse mechanism. I'm happy to say you can now view a video of in-turret action below. [video=youtube_share;Sq9lKJq1xQ0] ~Robert PS - I'm much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it.
