A little hard to see the final threads installed to lift the sway arm when the crane rotates.  A elastic thread below ensures that the arm falls back into the down position. On the right, the drive chain for the crew walkway is visible. The servo for the crane is hidden in the upper mechanics room. A ring of 5mm ball bearings help support the crane since it is connected directly to the servo.
