crazy cam
|
so i have been trying to research about the springs in SLCDs and i was looking at some of the patents when i came across i cam that i've never heard of or seen before. This patent was taken out by Greg Lowe. does anybody have any info on this device? was it ever produced commercially? if not, why? |

Eli, |
|
so it was kind of like how da vinci had schematics for thing that he didn't know how to build or couldn't build? |
|
This is always listed as the "almost first" SLCD, but it never had any commercial success and it was apparently really hard to use in practice. |
|
The OP's post links to a Lowe patent from 1985 that is sort of a double double lobe cam. |
|
Yep. The same idea holds... |
