Now
that the Fork Mount Base main construction is complete, it is time to
address the finishing process. But, before we go there, the mobility of this
heavy instrument needs to be addressed. Therefore I decided to use neoprene
wheeled casters attached to the bottom of the Fork Mount Base Platform
Chassis to perform the
job. The front, or north end of the mount will utilize two fixed casters, while the rear will use
swivel type casters. The combination will
allow ease of mobility over solid surface substrates. I am also
considering constructing a mobile platform utilizing larger spoke type
wheels that will allow the telescope to traverse over grass, and other
soft surfaces.
