Captain Hygiene posted:That's the thing, if they *were* hinged exactly like that, maybe the gap would be bigger than I imagine scaled up to a bridge. But the video has the pivot set up so the bridge section rotates completely away from and under the other road section, which I was totally not picturing. Oh well, obviously I've never lived anywhere that drawbridges were very common, I probably haven't even driven on one for at least twenty years. The section that drops down is acting as and is probably holding counterweights so that the motor(s) can exert less force to lift the bridge. It also means the motors and brakes can be sized much smaller as it no longer needs to rotate and hold up the whole weight of the bridge. While you could have dedicated arms to hold onto the counterweights to separate it from the bridge deck and move the pivot point so that no part of the bridge deck dips below the roadway when moving, it's probably easier and cheaper to build it as a simple span and have the deck dip below like a see-saw.

Ok, that makes a lot of sense from the engineering side, thanks.

Dirt Road Junglist posted:The other selling point for trucks these days is the seats. My mom has hip problems, and finding a sedan with seats that work for her has been a bitch. She’d love a Subaru, but the Outback is not terribly plush. Man truck seats are so much nicer than sedan seats. Minivan seats are OK but they're nothing compared to a truck. Even my Dodge Dakota I used to have was upsettingly comfortable. I could drive 1,000 miles straight and never get stiff. Every day it was a joy to drive. It had big tires so it was a little tough for shorter people to get into but not too hard. I switched it for a minivan once I had kids. I really miss that truck. I used to drive an old Dodge W150, also with big rear end tires. Again, comfortable for as many miles as you want. The GMC 1ton on the farm was the same way. Huge dually with a stake bed. Always comfortable on long trips. I also used to drive a Dodge Neon. Not comfortable at all on long trips. You kind of had to tumble out of the seat onto your hands and knees it was so low. My brother's New Yorker wasn't bad though. Super comfy seats. It was just long, unwieldy and handled like a cow being steered by a racoon.

Captain Hygiene posted:Ok, that makes a lot of sense from the engineering side, thanks. There are multiple ways bridges are constructed. One is the bascule bridge. Instead of a giant hinge that the bridge pivots around, it rolls over a track with gear teeth. The rolling bit has matching gear teeth. The fact that the whole construction is rather big, and the deck moves back, means you gotta have a reasonably large gap.  Most often, the gear stuff is hidden away underneath the bridge deck. But in the case of this bridge in Antwerp, it's all visible:  If you'd construct them with a conventional hinge/pin that the whole deck pivots on, you wouldn't need so big a gap, but you'd still have some wiggle room because of the thickness of the deck, and as said before have space for the counterweight.

Facelifted third gens have far better ones and they get snapped up by the diesel people as soon as the truck hits the junkyard. Then again, I'm narrow enough I get lost on the seat either way. Left arm braces against the door so I don't fly off the seat in a left hand turn. Feel you on the Neon. It's even worse with baby seats. As soon as my ex-wife had her second child, the car was unworkable. She's about 5 ft 2 inches, for reference.

The drain is down in the floor, you need to open that next. Did you get the rebreather in the vent tunnel when you were sneaking around the turret, or just put on the ballistic armor and run through? I think I’m missing a valve.
