Well, my dufuseness struck again...I sent the first scans to the wrong site! Yikes! Here is the Production Model, that we supplied, originally. In the scan, there are two "cranks"/"hooks". The middle one is the one I prefer, but the other one will work, it's just a bit more difficult to work with. The other problem with the "Rip Off", is that the friction mechanism is not right. Those parts need to be made out of extremely HARD steel. And, the Set Lever needs to be case hardened so that the face doesn't deform and wear out rapidly. If the Set Lever is too soft, the thing will distort the threads and then you've got a real mess. Hope this clarifies the problems. I'll resend the scan of the Prototype.
