Hi -  I am a metal spinner.  I work primarily on old flat belt(converted
to v-belt) spinning lathes.  In the present posting you mention that you
helped a friend with information about electronic speed controls that
don't sacrifice torque.  Would you be willing to share that same info with
me?  There are numerous operations that I perform in which dialing  a
speed would be a major boon!  Thanks a lot

Hmm.  I got this via e-mail, without realizing Fred also posted it
(without editing the Subject line to make sense).

There was a discussion on constant-torque drives, relating to spinning,
around April 25 or so of this year.  I suggested to Fred that he pick
up the archive file METAL.95A (or METAL95A.ZIP) via ftp from plains.uwyo.edu
in the METAL directory, and crowbar it into his favorite editor, and search
for the articles.
