Re: New AndyMark products 2016

Today I learned something new. I've been using turnbuckles for years on antenna guy wires, cross braces for doors, braces for playhouses, etc. All the cases it's been working in tension.

The tank drive uses them in compression to keep the belts tight. A simple and elegant solution to the problem. Very cool.
