Section 2: Overview
Slow Setting Pin Bracket
The function of the slow setting pin bracket is to slow down the speed at which the pins are moving as
they are being set on the pindeck. There is one of these brackets on each side of the frame. In operation,
the brackets interact with pivot rollers attached to each side of the string wagon drive chain causing
string wagon to tilt downward. This motion slows the descent rate of pins to allow them to be gently
placed on the pindeck. The tipping motion of the wagon also assists in positioning the strings within
their guide fins. Refer to Figure 2-16.
