Hey guys, there is a real easy way to overcome any potential cable twisting
without resorting to slip rings and it works very well.

Use a high tensile steel wire down through the length of the pole bolted at the
bottom and attached to the rotating frame at the top. The machine will turn
freely maybe five revolutions before flicking back. This method has been used
very successfully on the Clark machines here in NZ for some years. This puts no
strain on the cable.

By the way Hugh, I couldn't manage to access the link to the AWP curve you had on
your last posting.

Your comment Hugh on kW/hrs noted...

Cheers,
