BORROW: Half / Nova / Mini Hitch mount

Hello People!

Anyone here have either a Half Hitch, Nova Hitch or a Mini Hitch mount I may borrow?

Charles Riddel - creator of the aforementioned mount - have passed away;
I should like to study his work so I may create one based on his designs.

Engineer here,

BORROW: FT Focuser.

Anyone has a Feather-Touch Focuser? I'm also looking to borrow a Moonlight & GSO Linear Bearing Focuser. I'd like to borrow them - not for stargazing - but to study their mechanical design & properties. & to have a feel of what made Feather-Touch a great product. Engineer here. Abdul Lutfi

Equatorial Mount Clutches

Hello Anyone,

The equatorial mount clutches, used to lock an axis so that it may be turned by the motors but not the hand, does anyone know how they work?
Cross-sections, drawings, are seriously welcomed...

Thanks
