Jim,

I definitely don't like the idea of flipping the switch to get it right.
I don't know of any way to make a hysteresis motor work "right"
every time.  Someone once suggested imbedding a magnet into
the motor rotor, but I'm not sure if that would work.  But in any
case why bother with the hysteresis motors?  It's easy enough
to modify induction motors.  But I do remember you said you had a
problem modifying one.  If you still have the motor you modified
that didn't work out, I'd be interested in seeing it if you'd like
to mail it to me at:
