HEELS
The casters rotate freely when lever T
(Figure 11) is raised. By lowering lever T the
casters can be locked into 6 different posi-
tions at 60° intervals. The wheels can be
locked individually or all together in the
same direction if the pedestal needs to track
in a straight line.
To block all wheels and hence pedestal
movement, lower levers U (Figure 11).
N.B.:
Figure 11 shows the wheels on the
studio version of the pedestal. The OB ver-
sion adopts rubber-tyred wheels that are
locked in exactly the same way.
