There used to be a web page that described dual feedback on one of the big machines at Stuart Stevenson's MPM shop and had a bit of history of how they arranged to do that, but I can not find it now. They used a linear encoder for position feedback and a shaft encoder on the motor for velocity feedback. (Anybody know where the descriptive page with photos, etc. on that has gone to?)
