RE: Teletype motor
Original poster: "Lau, Gary" <Gary.Lau@xxxxxx>
I would recommend the "propeller gap" configuration over a conventional
disk. Propeller gaps are well-suited to low powered motors and are much
easier to construct. Mine is documented at
http://www.laushaus.com/tesla/sync_gap.htm, and Terry Blake's is at
http://tb3.com/tesla/sparkgaps/index.html
