       I found it! This is the Lego Technic 8888 Ideas Book (1980). Slightly before my time, but still a huge source of inspiration to me when I was a little boy.My daughter saw it and immediately demanded to know why they don't make anything like this any more.To me, Lego Technic should have never stopped being this.(1/4)

       Near the end of the book we have this awesome crane powered by a single motor, and an ingenious punch card mechanismhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVXKGzni7EA(3/4)

       And to round out the book, building on the punch card design from the crane, we have the piece-de-resistance: the mine blowing mechanical pen plotterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J-rInYL42E(4/4)
