Rocker Capstans, was: Steiff Upright

[Clyde Hollinger]

David,

If you are sure of that, then there must be several designs out there.  I think
I've seen some rocker capstans in which a thin pin protrudes from the bottom of
each sticker and enters the rocker.  There is still the possibility of
separation in that type.

Regards, Clyde
