Elliptic oscillation

The unique Quartz had the unique oscillating system .

Quartz 330
Quartz was the " new beetle " or " new mini " of spinning reel .

But it was too aggressive to become popular .

Good line shape
But its oscillation winds the line in good shape . It does not make tangles .

Elliptic oscillation
The reason is the " Elliptic oscillation " .

The pin of gear
The pin moves with the rotation of gear .

This moving prevents the crossing of line on the end of spool .

Gears in gear
This moving is made by gears in gear .

The teeth of smaller gear is half of the center gear .

Planamatic
I associated the planamatic of 308/408 by this mechanism .

These machanisms had been copied by other manufactures .


I can say only " unique " on this mechanism . Even if a Japanese engineer invented this mechanism , he might not think use this mechanism .

French engineer is unique ... Of course I like this unique reels . (2004/3/11)
