That's right - I designed it so it uses Buffet nylon pins (the ones they use on the LH levers on clarinets) on the ends of the rocker and they fit into 2.4mm holes drilled through the cup arms so the rocker is fully engaged.

The rocker and the rocker carriage were originally adapted from existing key pieces from the S5/XL cor anglais F vent mechanism, but specially made pieces have since been designed for use in this 8ve mechanism instead of altering existing pieces.

It was after seeing a photo of a piccolo heckelphone that had a very simple looking auto 8ve mechanism that made me try something similar out to see if it worked on oboes - apparently it works too easily as was commented by someone at Frankfurt!
