| Understanding
that constructing a fork mount with minimal flexure is quite a task, I
gave much thought to the internal support structure of the RA Axis Box
before coming up with the I-Beam design. The I-Beams were put together
using wood glue and woodscrews. To test their strength, I actually
stood on top of them individually with over 200lbs pounds and they did
not budge or flex whatsoever! Each I-Beam is made up of three 5
3/4" by 7 1/4" inch pieces of Birch plywood. These
components will flank the Right Ascension Axis on the inside of the RA
Axis Box.
