The transmission machine design didn't come to us for ages but once it did it was decided we would build a kind of ariel, transmitter / pylon. It required quite a bit of welding so we designed it up with sizes and ordered the steel rods. After they had arrived I marked out all the steel and cut them to size by hand ready to weld. As dave in the metal workshops can only have one person welding at a time, we welded it and I held + decided on the position of the rods. After the initial frame went up the top was too wide so I took the decision to shorten it to bring it to more of a point which now looks much better.
After it was completed we transported it by van back to the space we attached the ariels and other props that make up the machine, Faysal and Andy attached the arms that link the two other machines to this central machine (figure.3) and dressed it with wires etc. It is looking pretty imposing and is a great size for the little room. Good stuff.
