Luke I already sensed and figured that you knew it's me however my drawings non of them are traced or rulers used but they're my work.
1.) my drawings are drawn in fully partly and closed positions on some of them and
2.)All my drawings are technical which means I draw them in all detail of mechanism of struts pulleys counterweight and so on
3.)My drawings are not just art but and understanding of how they operate.
Doug:
1) You're trying way too hard to sound like someone else is defending you, when we all know it's you typing in the third person.
2) While your contributions are greatly appreciated (You've added a fair number of movable spans we would not have listed/known about otherwise.), your drawings are NOT the best REAL-WORLD overview of a structure, which is what the thumbnail is SUPPOSED to be.
Some body is mad because Doug has drawn a lot of bridges over a period of time and done tons of a research of them so if Doug wants to put some of his drawings as a thumbnail well let him it's a free country suppose to be but everybody contributes to bridgehunter of bridges of their own or take photos of their favorite type like a truss cantilever and so on that does research just as often as Doug in movable drawbridges he shares his favorite types also so he is contributing his wonderful work on this site like the rest of you please cut him some slack for God sakes!
