   I tried to post a pointer to the sundar.brinkster.net site on Facebook   
   but Facebook says it is a dangerous site NOS,   
      
   Neither Firefox nor F-Prot complain.   
      
   I have been studying all the pictures you nice people have pointed to   
   and I for the life of me see were the articulation "hinges" are nor how   
   they "work".  From the pictures, it looks like any articulation will   
   have one or more drivers fouling the boiler chassis.
