Why would you need to dial in the caster often enough to have an elaborate setup like this?

Thanks for edumacatin' the dummy.

Jeff-
Is it possible that what you were looking at was an over-engineered beam brace? They've also got simple clamp on formed tubing versions. EDIT- Uh yeah, that's what it is. It's supposed to keep the beam more rigid. They have MUCH simpler and lighter versions available, but no where NEAR the wow factor.
