There is a launch tower on pgs 27 and 30 of the Nov./Dec. 2014 issue of Sport Rocketry of an interesting design. Can someone ID the maker/designer of this tower? Thanks!

That is the Apogee/BMS adjustable tower, aimed primarily at the competition market. Introduced by Apogee many years ago, rights to the tower later shifted to Balsa Machining Services, who produced it until they exhausted their supply of parts. Unfortunately it is no longer available, which is a shame as it was a remarkably versatile design.

Thanks, James! It is, indeed, a shame; This is a great design that would allow many different diameters to be flown from the same tower. Hope someone brings it back, or produces another like it.
