Thanks Mike; no confusion, got the answers I was looking for and great pointers for further topics of interest to boot. BTW being part of conception and design of flat pack rides must be a great career, should have listened to that little guy inside all those years ago :-)
Hi all,
Newbie here and not a mechanical engineer; please be patient :-)
I have been fascinated for a long time with a flat pack ride called Enterprise (see http://pointbuzz.com/content/ask-rideman-seat-belts-witches-wheel for some interesting info on this 70's product still going strong)...
