No analyses, but several people had made their comment based on experience
which I trust is good experience.

Anyways, if I did pursue the conductive ring (since the motor shaft in
inherently short):

1.  How would one attach the conductive ring to the rotor.

2.  How would one fasten the tungsten electrodes to the conductive ring.

Thanks again.
