believe John Tye built and used one).
I have the article which appeared in "The Europa Flyer" (issue no. 12)
which shows the theory and a photo of the balance but here is no detailed
dimensions or description of materials used.
Any details will be gratefully received.

Somewhere....I have a drawing that the factory faxed over to me. I will see if
I can find the drawing. I have tried two cup and one cup balances (and
electronic) and found that the one cup was by far the best.
The knife edge bearing is important. For mine I used a piece of 1cm angle
mounted on the beam so that the bend the highest point, and then pivoted the
beam on two sharp point screws with the points uppermost.
