Talk:Swashplate

Swashplate animation is wrong
The swashplate animation is wrong because the axis of the shaft is fixed. In reality the axis moves the same way as the swash plate. Here is correct animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc5VqQsbwio —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quinacrine (talk • contribs) 14:09, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * agree i cannot see how the movement of the gold disc is converted into rotation of the silver plate/axis. the video is far better.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.48.204.1 (talk) 13:46, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Inventor?
I thought that the swash plate was one of the methods James Watt patented in 1781 to circumvent James Pickard's patent of a crank. Apart from one trial model, he did not use the invention, but still it was invented long prior to 1913. source.

Inventor??
Agostino Ramelli (1531 - 1600) had drawings using "swashplates" in his inventions dating back to 1588. 73.228.222.112 (talk) 02:45, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
