That part takes some skill using both hands and you have to turn the cranks in opposite directions to work it. Sort of like rubbing your stomach and patting your head jumping on one leg.
I think Larry used to sell the conveyors and the shaker when he had time to make them up. They were 1/16th scale and matched the Smith Miller Trucks from the 50's.
