[edit] Hello, welcome, and thanks
Four months is too long without a proper hello. I keep an eye on a few months worth of date articles, and you edited one. About a third to half of these edits are useless or worse. Your edits, of course, were fine, and I noticed no one had ever left a message on your talk page. You probably already know most of the stuff on the Welcome message, but it still seemed a good way to say hello, welcome, and thanks. Rklawton 19:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How Falkirk Wheel's caissons are kept level.
(From Talk:Falkirk Wheel) I tried to visualise in my mind how the gears work to keep the caissons level, but ran into difficulties trying to animate it! This section calls out for a diagram of the workings so that the less engineering-literate, like myself, can understand it better. Is there a public domain picture of this, or can someone with suitable knowledge and skills produce one? That aside, I concur with the general view that this is a very informative and interesting article. --King Hildebrand 15:12, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have created a detailed explanation at User:RealGrouchy/FalkirkGearing, using Lego technic gears to demonstrate the principle used on the Falkirk Wheel. I hope you enjoy it! --RealGrouchy 03:32, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
