Set 400 : Pan Balance

This picture is extracted from set 400-2 and shows several creations that can be found on that page.

Today, we build the pan balance visible here on the bottom right of the picture. It is based on several wheels on axles and plates. I haven’t built it yet so I don’t know if it is fully functional !
