Dear Family,
Last fall I volunteered to do some engineering and build a prototype of a powered dental chair for Oral Surgeons who do humanitarian work in Central America. I modified one heavy duty lounge chair that was purchased from China, and it worked. So the chairman of the foundation ordered seven more in and we modified them. The project is complete and the chairs are en route to some Central American country for the April visit. About 140 people go down there to work with prospective missionaries. They provide medical, dental, barber, hygiene and other needed services for these young people.
You can see the before ( on the carpet) and the after (in the shop) and the completed 8. There are linear actuators on the two moving axes. Also the armrest had to be installed and everything 'beefed up'.
