BASIC COURSE DESIGN

The following diagrams are given as a guide to locating the lure machine and pulleys for a continuous loop and a take up course plan. There are three basic possibilities when locating the lure machine for a continuous loop course; in line with the course, outside the loop and inside the loop. While these course plans are a simple box for illustrative purposes, there are many possible variations to any of these configurations and are limited only by the number of corner pulleys available for use. The last diagram shows a take up configuration with three corner pulleys located in front of the lure machine. The three pulleys are used to keep constant tension on the string and prevent a backlash from occurring. You may get away with using only two corner pulleys in front of the lure machine.
