The beam is 7 feet long from end to end, 5" wide and 1 3/4" thick.
The space in which the blue paddles slide is 16 1/2 inches.
The metal rod in the center that holds up the metal grooved breast beam is 6 inches long and angled towards the reed.
The shuttle shown above is the original shuttle. It is 3" wide, 16" long and 2" thick.
The blue paddles are 33" long and the rod at the bottom extends away from the beam leg 7 1/2". See below.

The lady did not care for the auto shuttle so she had the mechanism tied up. The copper wire is part of that so disregard.
The 2 photos below with arms in them show how the metal T sits on the part attached to the wood.
In the photo below, the part of the T pointing at the man attaches to the bolt and nuts that are in the middle of the two blue wires suspended there.
Those wires are actually stiff rods and are 29 1/2 " long. There is an eye at each end. In the center the bolt is through those eyes. On the other end they attach to eyes attached to black super thin, flexible pieces of metal that give the tension to pull the mechanism back and forth.
The black thin metal is actually 3 pieces. The longest is 15 1/2 ". The middle is a bit shorter and has a bend and the third is shorter still and just gives support. They are bolted to the blue metal paddles. One on each paddle. The top of the clamp that holds them on is about a foot from the bottom of the blue paddle. Look at pictures 1, 3 and 4.

Observe the above photo. The curvy blue rod that the copper wire goes thru... It goes through one of the holes in the rectangular blue block above it. Which one, I dont know. I assume it depends.
The blue T shown below sits on the steel rod coming out of the top of that blue block.
Not sure where the long spring on the left goes. Maybe in the hole where the copper wire is after its is through the blue block?

I have not reassembled this function yet as I am not sure if I will use it or not. I dont like the shuttle itself. Its old and sticks. I may need to fabricate a new shuttle before i use this feature.
