The Legs, the Devil and the Dog
The video is a large file which seems to have an effect on the text, which has disappeared somewhere, so posting it first, will follow with the text next post.

The Legs, the Devil and the Dog - Text
The legs operate via a lever which is spring loaded. When the pressure is released by the cam under, the action happens, and the leg retracts assisted by a small spring. There is a mechanism under the leg which prevents the action until the carriage arrives at the end of its travel. I wasn't able to work out the timing of the second kicks to coincide with the timing of the linear move, so this is a way around the problem. The carriage arrives, disengages the 5mm dowel from the front of the shoe and the movement takes place.The carriage preforms four actions; moves the central character from one end to the other, rotates the dog, rings a bell in conjunction with the dog's movement, and enables the kick to take place. The dog "mindlessly" reacts to the bell. The bell and other small springs were donated by a disused manual typewriter.The Devil stands on a mechanism which rotates 12 times, counting backward. It is activated by a cam on the crankshaft.Nearing completion, what remains is to build the house for the female leg and the Grim Reaper, a factory for the male leg, the wiring network, and landscaping the background. I thank all who followed the process so far, and appreciate very much, the supportive comments posted,Gus

Journey of Life
It seems that the project is nearing finality, so I was able to give it a descriptive label. The photo attached is how it looks, in the next few days I will hopefully make a reasonable video of how it works. Will advise the URL.
I very much appreciate the comments posted, and again thanks to all who watched it unfold.
