Reset Main
The 'Long Pulse' from the descent
of the 'Cage Trap' mentioned previously
is used to start the motor of the
'Main Reset Single Rotate Device'
shown in the attached pic. The motor
used here is a small 12 volt job that
rotates about once per second and
with the gearing shown the final shaft
takes about twenty seconds for one
rotation. Note that the Start/Stop
limit switch is controlled by a threaded
pin in the 95 tooth gear. This can
just be made out.
Next on the main shaft is a bush wheel
that has three threaded pins in adjacent
holes and these press down on the
lever of a limit switch that is used
to feed 12 volts to the bell (via
a tapping off the input voltage).
This 'Power Pulse' lasts about seven
seconds.
Next, the main shaft brings around
two 1/2" bolts that activate two more
switches to give a pulse each to the
motors used to control the 'Bucket
Reset' and the 'Thingy-ma-jig Reset'.
After that, the next switch is activated
and this gives a pulse to the 'Diver'
motor so that the diver does his back-flip,
releases the ganged levers allowing
the 'Cage Trap' to rise again (incidentally
terminating the long pulse).
Finally, another switch is activated
that sends a pulse to another 'Single
Rotate Device' that is situated in
the back wall of the model. This will
be dealt with after we have had a
quick look at the 'Bucket' and 'Thingy'
devices
