[SML] Sunroof Trap?

[Jon Lagerquist]

Tom,

Here is a link to drawings of three different shows where we made 
sunroofs. They are different approaches to the same basic approach of 
moving a sled under the floor that carries the lid. When the lid is 
under the hole the lid can not travel so is slid up ramps on the sled. 
The ramps on the sled and lid have flat sections that the lid rests on 
in the up position. Depending on the travel needed we would use 
pneumatics or a winch drive.
