Wow...I received a call from Richmond Wheel and Castor, the company I am going to buy my gate tracks and motor from...
Talk about helpful and out of the blue..they were concerned that their product may not be suitable and did not want me to be uninformed on the matter.
I explained what I was doing and the guy , Robert, was just so helpful and time not a problem.
I wish every company that I dealt with were just so helpful and considerate.
I explained that I was confident that it would work but that I would not be blaming them if I could not get it together...
I explained that I liked to think that I had thought it thru and that I would be running the plans past a very competent engineer.
And I do hope it works out as I think what I have come up with could help many people with a roll off roof and remote opperation.
So I spent all morning and this afternoon making the plans..inch by inch screw by screw and think I have it all worked out...Will make the order on Thursday as I need to put cash in my astronomy toys account.
Needless to say I am very happy the way things are going ... it is wonderful and I am just so lucky.
Here is a link to the unit I hope will do the job.
