231 forum posts 50 photos	In MEW no. 246 page 17 there was an article about exhibits at Brooklands produced by MEW readers, one of which was a nice looking topslide made by Ken Wilson. I was hoping for some more information about how Ken had managed to fit what is described as a "very compact toothed belt drive" to the leadscrew drive; was there...is there... any more information on how this has been done... I have searched the forum and not found anything, perhaps I am not looking in the right place. In case Ken is reading this and there has been no previous discussion or article is there any chance of you giving me and others some more information. Thanks in anticipation... rgds...Bob.

3681 forum posts 70 photos	Bob, As requested two shots added to album which should explain all. The is a sliding keyway which allow the movement where GHT took the gears part out of mesh. Belt also allow use of standard leadscrew without the need to make a LH leadscrew because of the gear reversal. The is insufficient space to put in an idler gear.
