[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 163637, member: 38"] Early pictures show the short cable on the RH side of the machine, opposite to later and more common practice. Also, you would be amazed at how easily a balance beam can have the curves in the horizontal plane "adjusted" to move the cable abutment points a little further forward to help clear them from contact with the bottom of the lower friction links. Makes you wonder how much of soft front brakes is from the beam flexing in the vertical plane. I am just looking at a Comet in my driveway with a balance beam I made from a nice piece of high tensile flat bar when one was not avail from the Spares Co. I bet it is harder to bend! [/QUOTE]
