I checked out the drawing created by Ray Prouty and after a bit I figured out how the system works. However there is a major difference between Proutys’ drawing and the actual Lynx rotorhead. On the pictures shown on http://www.b-domke.de/AviationImages/Rotorhead.html
The Lynx rotor head looks just like any other rotorhead with the pitch links coming from below and connected to what would be assumed to be a swashplate. Obviously if Westland still employs the spider system it does not look like ray Proutys’ drawing. If it is below the transmission like the Enstrom and the Cheyenne the spider must be driven by the transmission.
