Default RE: Where have we seen the Binary cam before? Oh yeah, thats right...

Actually fellas I'm the one who brought this up on another forum. It's actually quite a similarity. It's not the lever action of the Oneida, it's the timing system. As long as an Oneida's tiller is set it can't go out of time unless the cables break.

Anyways back to the main point. The Oneidas' cams are tied to each other through a set of timing wheels that keeps the bow from going out of time. You could say it's kind of a checks and balances system. One cam can't move unless the other one moves due to this system, so they both move in unison. I've just recently become familiar with the mechanics of Oneida's, and PABowhntr, I know that as soon as you take a closer look you'll notice the incredable similarity between the timing mechanics of the Oneida and the new binary cam. It's not an exact copy, it's just the same concept of timing. It's a wonderful system in my opinion and I've been wondering when a company was going to find a way to instil it into their designs.
