The GLW is a latch mechanism
specifically designed for most wood Pinewood Derby tracks. It operates by
remote control to start your race with nobody near the track. The GLW mounts
with a pair of self-tapping screws included. The electronics portion of
the unit is integrated with the actuator device.
The actuating component
is a linear solenoid which pulls a steel latch by a brass pull rod. You
will mount a steel strike plate on your peg bar, and mount the GLW on your
track so that the parts engage.
More detailed instructions
on mounting the GLW can be found HERE.
