Build a Meccano Dog Clutch Mechanism [VirtualMEC Build #1]
Channel: Meccano Man
Date: 25/03/2022

I wanted to build some simple Meccano mechanisms to gain a better understanding of both the building system itself and basic engineering principles. This model was chosen for it's simplicity and ability to function as a module in a "do-nothing machine". As with any model involving moving parts, it needs adjusting and fine-tuning to get it working just right. I believe this may have been featured in a Meccano Magazine in years past.
