<P><SPAN class=221442217-19032009><FONT face="Lucida Sans">The Waquoit Bay
Reserve is hoping to find someone in the community willing to help us
redesign the "Rain Drop Journey" outdoor exhibit at Reserve Headquarters. This
is a Rube Goldberg type of device where people put a raindrop (small ball)
in one end and follow it as it travels through a simulated watershed. One
element of the exhibit involves the raindrops (small balls) moving from a
lower level to a higher one when kids/people turn a crank that operates a chain
driven gear. This element of the exhibit has been numerous times when children
<EM>overcrank</EM> the device.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=221442217-19032009><FONT face="Lucida Sans">If you would like to
help us redesign this aspect of the exhibit, so children are not frustrated
when they go to use it, please contact me at the Reserve. It is not rocket
science, but it does require some understanding of mechanical
devices.</FONT></SPAN></P>
