Working roll-up windows

[Russell C]

Not that I myself could come with any engineering to accomplish that - one method for the topic was covered back in 2012 in this thread, and further back there was another 2008 thread where Bill Geary showcased his system.....

But way back in 1967 (as one of the commenters at the above 2012 thread noted), the legendary Dave Shuklis had an article in the December issue of Model Car Science showing his method. Link here to the scanned pages of the article, the first page of it seen below.

I've seen Bill Geary's work, and he is a "master" at roll up windows.

Thanks Nick!

That was an interesting article, and it's the first I've seen of it! One factor in all of this is pure patience! I've had to rework and reposition gears and whatnot a number of times till I got it right. One window for instance might take me a week or more to get right, working a couple hours at a time.

Russell thanks for sharing

The 1967 article is a reprint; the original printing was in issue #1 of Car Model, in 1962.

I like the prices in that magazine. $2.00 for an MPC GTO kit.

Back when minimum wage was just over a dollar an hour, too.

I love that website Modelencylopedia, its amazing how inventive they used to be in the sixties and seventies with model building very cutting edge for the time.
