Carbon Corner shelf layout

[MrBill]

Hey Bil. The pivoting track is mounted on thin plywood (4mm+/-) with matboard roadbed, as is the rest of the track. The cut out indexing area is inset with smooth masonite so that all the rail is flush. A little tricky to get it all level, but it's simple, and works great. The "sector plate" as I've come to know it, is a common micro layout device popularized on this site:

I've come across pages on the indexing subject before, just need to work out the details. Leaning towards a horizontally sprung ball-in-tube type arrangement. Want to be able to hear and feel a gently aligned "click" since the plate area will be mostly hidden by a bridge and building flat. until I get to rooting through my misc. harware bins, eyeballing will have to do.

Found the page I was thinking of: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.carendt.us/scrapbook/page45a/index.html">http://www.carendt.us/scrapbook/page45a/index.html</a><!-- m -->

I think the vertical bolt mount might push my plate up too much and out of flush. Fun challenge, this mini engineering!
