[sac-forum] Re: FW: [FWD: "BIG FOOT" EQUATORIAL]

I sent Alan some tips on the Bigfoot. Steve Dodder had collected a sheet of plywood with the full sized cutting layout traced on it, when the family cleaned up Pierre's effects at his house. Evidently this was from a project in progress when he passed away. I am not aware of any actual drawings otherwise. But I don't know if that layout ever got traced out. Hopefully, Steve can offer some hints. Otherwise, beyond my recall of specific details, one could review the various photos on the SAC web pages, or the RTMC archive pages... 
Perhaps a current SAC member with a Bigfoot could offer some information...

    Does any one have a 'sketch' showing how to build a Pierre Schwaar
    "big foot" equatorial mount??? Hopefully it can be fitted with a
    clock drive??
