Hi all,
Trying to find an image which I’ve seen in instructions before… but can’t seem
to find it despite a lot of googling. It’s a image showing not to place gears
too tightly on an axle, it has a “good” with a little gap, and a “bad” showing
the brick being very tight and sad. From memory it’s at the beginning of instruction
leaflets showing general practice.
Does anyone remember this?

Instruction No: 42055  Name: Bucket Wheel Excavator
* 
42055-1 Bucket Wheel Excavator
Instructions: Technic: Model: Construction
Step 128, p. 137

Also s. 130, p. 139, and s. 318, p. 290.

For other examples, you need to find a set with a series of gears and parts on
the same axle with some part that’s “loose” on the axle (= with a pin hole).

Thanks, that’s similar but not quite the one I was looking for - the one I remember
has a gear with a sad or smiley face.
