home Bob Allmen's Ferris Wheel
Bob Writes: This picture shows a full view of my double ferris wheel built with type 3 erector parts. The model is 58 inches high and is powered by 2 erector battery controller boxes and 4 plastic gear box motors. Transfer of power is by erector chain, sprockets, custom built drive pulley mechanisms, auto string tighting system and flax waxed string. The wheels with gondolas can be run with the main H frame at a standstill which simulates the real operation of a full size unit.
