Mousetrap -- Built by Les Pattison

Up 2 and down 2

This pic shows the two switches Up 2 and Down 2 mentioned in the last posting plus one other. UpĀ 2 is the single switch on its own to the left of the bank of 3. The one inch pulley is pulled up against the lever of Up 2 by the rod that carries the pair of pawls and is released when the 'Cage Trap' travels down. Down 2 is the switch on the left of the pair of two and its lever is operated by the half inch pulley that can just be seen behind it. This pulley is pushed down by the trap when the trap reaches the bottom of its travel.
The other switch, also operated by the half inch pulley, is used to send a long 'Pulse' to the next 'Single Rotate' mechanism which will be explained next.
