Design of systems

Once you have decided where to site the controls you can start to design the systems. When designing the systems I initially decided upon the ideal arrangement and then considered how to fit it into the available space.

For each system I have tried to minimise the number of turning points and maximise the available purchase. This tends to cascade systems to generate purchase. The draw back is that cascade systems take up a lot of space.

Each system is detailed individually. These will be combined later to produce the final design and purchase list.
