This one has provisions for two rods, each about 1" from the edge of the
lens, extending down as far as one wants to make a rod. I'm a little
concerned that shutter movement will cause vibration shake, however
subtle,
so I might mount the shutter from a sliding arrangement on the mail
column,
which just cannot possibly move. (750 pounds of it). Two more rods can be
added with simple drilling and tapping. So much real-estate on this thing!

Heh! I have a vision of Watson on the ladder, "Mr. Holmes, is it correct
now, Sir?"

Over the years of building things like Harleys

, working on tractors, building cars
and rebuilding VWs http://www.digoliardi.net/58.jpg

has made me comfortable with
making
large things. A geared baseboard would be simple. But the demand for such
a
thing is a market of One!
