Making the Lever and Linkage
Cut out the corrugated card and thin card parts.
Line up the parts as shown. Make a hole with the point of a pencil. Take care!
Fit the first split pin. Make the hole for the second split pin. Notice that the lever is at an angle!
Fit the second split pin then glue on the spacer.
Fold over the thin card and glue it to the upper horizontal card. Don’t glue the lower piece, it needs to slide through the loop of thin card.
