front of an infra-red beam a few millimeters before impact. The time in
milliseconds and the length of the object are then used to determine the
velocity.

The drop carriage and ball arm holder are an important
part of the chin bar machine. This machine is not motorized.
-
The drop carriage has a "lever" that is activated by the drop release button
demonstrated above.

After the impact, you simply raise the ball arm holder back into position and
re-attach it to the drop carriage with the lever.
