I recently acquired a plate loaded spider cam with the flat arm cushions and cables instead of chains.
It works very well and get a great pump with it.
What is the history of this great machine?
Thank you

Dan,
If you use it properly, it definitely pumps your lats. You have to make sure the flat pads are on the outside of your upper arms, which keeps your elbows back. Then, the movement is all on your lats with no biceps involvement.
It was one of the first Nautilus machines Jones designed and he was disappointed that most trainees performed it incorrectly by allowing their hands and forearms to move forward. He stopped manufacturing it after three years.
