Tom Meyers' Multiple Straight Line Drive

Tom writes:
This model is from #9 mechanical wonders "multiple straight line drive". Mine uses some newer parts for base plate and an A-49 motor. The 1929 manual gives no indication how the AT axle is connected to the two EMs. I connected mine with a P-15 so it only really connects to one of the EMs. The two Hs must be aligned on the same spot on each CJ for symmetrical push/pull. The AY does not really do anything but looks good and maybe keeps the action smoother.
