This mechanism is usually vertical and the turning is nearly 360 degrees clockwise followed by nearly 360 degrees counterclockwise. The second part consists of various hangers and hooks. I made several a couple of years ago. One hanger would hold a single large chicken of a smallish roast. The other could h old three small chickens or cornish hens. If you will send me an address, I'll send you copies of my sketches.
