The turntable mechanism was designed based on an article in the July 1951 Model Railroader, and the turntable bridge design itself was somewhat of a composite based on a number of plans I've seen, but leaned heavily on an article in the October 1940 Model Railroader. I picked up the 1951 issue at a hobby show, and photocopied the 1940 article from a magazine in the Portland, Oregon main library's archives.
I favored the 1940 turntable bridge design because it's an "armstrong" man-powered turntable, with a push pole, being relatively small.
