Commercial Book Cradles

Built a scanner? Started to build a scanner? Record your progress here. Doesn't need to be a whole scanner - triggers and other parts are fine. Commercial scanners are fine too.

This article shows how to build an archive-appropriate book cradle and introduced me to the idea of a "book snake".

Cradle pictured here has a roller for one side of book. Seems nice, you could have one side held up with some pressure, and even rotate the roller to release the top page.
