Well done Mick! You've come up with a design that is easier to build and adjust than the 'official' mechanism. The advantage of the official design is that it can lock the disengaged cross more securely, and release it with minimal effort. However, for most applications, your spring-loaded lock should do the job just as well, and you can build it from a wider range of parts. 👍👍
Very smooth operation. Nice. 👌
