So I am looking over offerings of dealer in tiny town west of Lake Constance, and oddly enough residence of my brother. A french machine, Gambin 120 pops up. On close inspection of what appears to be a fixed vertical head is the presence of a horizontal spindle imbeded in the vertical casting. I have seen nothing like this . The two or three other Gambin 120 mcs on the web do not have similar configuration.
Inspiration for this creation lies in the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta, Canada. That being the skeletal remains of a kritter known as "monoclonius". From the late cretaceous.
How do the French do it?
