An indispensable guide for the Meccano crane builder with an overview of the many types of roller bearings possible in Meccano, suitable for models large and small of different prototypes, and solutions to the technical requirement and challenges provided by each, using standard Meccano parts and, where necessary, user-curved perforated strips.
Roller bearings for excavators and other rotating superstructures are also covered.
