    I’m being nit-picky again the knuckle on the class 700 could do with some more detail so whenever you need a closer look you can use this picture.

    Whilst keeping the aerofoils horizontal, the v-shaped component should be connected to the upper arm. The purpose of this is to link to an internal bar that keeps the pan head horizontal when raising and lowering. upload_2023-7-24_20-39-52.jpeg

    The horns on the pan head should extend out beyond the carbon strips. The reason for this is the stop the catenary from ever getting under the pan head, and ensures smooth transitions between wires during crossovers.
