The long legs sold it

Yesterday I worked on the White! It’s been a while. Progress on the speed control mechanism. I replaced the janky countersunk screws with proper sheet metal screws, drilled a hole in the spur shaft for a cotter pin, and trimmed the shaft lengths to size. I used one of the basswood prototype panels as a spacer, then marked, drilled, and self-tapped holes for the screws that attach the speed control assembly to the lever assembly. Unfortunately the screw ends just barely block part of the travel of the spur gear, so I’ll need to cut and install an extra spacer to keep it out of the way.
