My lathe has a two-speed electronically controlled gearbox, but it
does not have the inductive switches to indicate which gear it is in.
I use this HAL component (see the halcompile documents for how to use it)
Note that this works in conjunction with a three-position switch so
that I can lock the spindle in high or low ratio, if I want to.
