Building Instructions |
|
|
I realise that I have neglected the building instructions section somewhat. You will be glad to know that I have slowly learnt to use Kevin Clague's remarkable program, LPub, and will gradually update the building instructions to take advantage that this great software offers. |

For a start here are the building instructions for Ralph
Hempel's double-acting compressor to show you some of the stunning
effects that can be achieved. Enjoy! |

The following sequence show how the bent liftarms are fitted... |

 |
| I hope that Ralph will give his stamp of approval for these instruction pictures. Yep, he did. | |
|
And here, of course, are the building instructions for the 2-cylinder oscillating engine and its bill of materials |

Building Instructions Old |
|
| I keep these here for nostalgia's sake and as a reminder of what it was like in the old days! You may simply ignore them if you are not interested in history. I will probably have to delete them when I run out of disk space. | |

Here are the links
to the building instructions for the main pneumatics projects. The instructions are given
as LDraw images and data files. Good news - there are now pneumatics elements in LDraw. I will update the dat files in due course. But you should be able to figure out where the pneumatics parts fit in from the digital pics. |

| Note: The data files are given with "txt" extension due to a quirk of the server. After downloading, change the file extension to "dat" to use with LEdit or LDraw. |
