Hi Bob,

I was just reading your mail today, please let me know when you are going to
run up the your async rotary as I would like to be there. I gather from Dave
that you have spun it up without any problems.
I would also like that calculation for the number of turns for the secondary
as I can now get the 1mm wire in Bishop's Stortford.

Cheers
Jonathan...........
