WELL TYPE TURNTABLE

The unit consists of two modules, as follows:

Module 1 - THE BRIDGE . Constructed of brass, steel, nickel-silver and copperclad laminate. All parts are jig machined for accuracy and perfect alignment. The model incorporates correct section girder frames and stretchers which support the running rails, with a cantilevered walkway along each side. Fittings include handrails, locking levers and

windlass. Additional detail available on request includes vacuum tanks, stanchion and control pedestal.

Motorisation, where required, is by means of  two 12v dc motor/gearbox units driving two of the carrying wheels. Optional locking is achieved by a solenoid-operated bolt which engages a specially slotted latch block in line with each approach road.

Module 2 - THE BASE UNIT - Constructed from MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) and plywood. These are accurately machined to form the rim, walls and floor of the well. A raised ledge carries the circular race rail on which the turntable rotates. A contact ring around the centre shaft supplies current to the motor and locking mechanism. For use with electric traction, power to the bridge rails is supplied via each half of the race rail and the carrying wheels.

Power supply requirements are 0-12v dc for controlling the motors, and 16v ac for the locking mechanism. For maintenance purposes, the bridge may be removed from the well simply by lifting it off the centre shaft. The well module occupies a space 800 x 800mm.

Whilst primarily intended for indoor use, the model may be operated outdoors if the base unit is arranged so as to be instantly removable
