I had a question about the tensioning cam and am hoping someone from 45 sees this soon.

Specifically, I was wondering what the chassis side of things may have looked like here. Is there a matching tensioning cam on the other side of the pulley, or was one sufficient?

Also, any insight into the practical operation of this idea would be appreciated. Did it work as advertised, so to speak?

I'm looking into a cam like this for a similar use, though primarily as a means of relieving belt or chain tension.
Since, I took that picture let me see if I can find any more.

EDIT:
It's been awhile, but here's what I remember (I think). It was the same on the other side. I think I remember that we tightened by the inside/outside with our hands at first, then used a hammer (and maybe a flathead screwdriver) to tap them tight.

Did it work?
If I remember correctly it worked pretty well. (Hopefully, Baker will correct me if I'm wrong). I want to say I remember breaking off atleast one of the small tabs while adjusting the cams, but I can't remember one ever coming loose during a match.

EDIT#2:
I now remember that we changed the shape of the cam for the Midwest Regional, but I can't remember why.

In this bad picture you can sort of make out the new shape.
