It certainly hasn't discouraged any of the designers at the companies named aboveor Klaudio's Peter Cheon, who for years has been working on this complex pivoted tangential tracker. I eventually returned to plain ol' pivoted arms, but don't let that discourage you from going straight. ![]() I think I've covered these concerns in almost every review of a tangential tracker I've written in the past 30 years, and I've owned some of those arms. The possibilities here, too, are seemingly limitless.
