BCMM Gathering 19 Mar, 2017
By Wayne Russell
This was the first meeting I've attended since September 2016 because I was snow-birding in California. I took a few pictures and posted them below. I'm collecting pictures taken by others in attendance and will post them as well.
The theme of the gathering was Mechanisms. There were many gizmos to look at. Some were less useful than others but they were more entertaining.

Dugan brought brought two bearings that can handle heavier loads. Pictured above is for linear loads, a perf strip rolls on bearings made up of washers. Pictured below is a thrust bearing made from washers and the 4 holed brass bit from a universal coupling.
Above our host Fred shows us his latest car model. Somewhat smaller than his usual but no less detailed.
Below are a few more pictures of the models that were displayed. Click on the picture to enlarge and see caption.
