Subj: Ken is recovering


Friends  of Ken Woodbury:
This will probably be the last message I send to all of you about  Ken.  
The latest information I have is that he is now in a private  room and can 
receive phone calls.  He is still in Saint Joseph's  Hospital in Patterson, NJ. 
 I have been unable to reach him this  morning, due to busy signals, so he 
must be chatting away. The hospital  operator told me that his direct number 
is 973-754-5120.  (The  hospital switchboard is 973-754-2000.)  He is 
feeling much better and  has even been telling a few jokes.  With luck he will 
be 
heading back  to NH in a few days.
I'll bet he never expected to be the center of attention at MME  #21!  It's 
a day many of us will remember.
Glen G. in  VT

Very true.  There are lots of potential miss directions.  I generally mark
the barrels as to left or right and either transfer that to a sketch or
printed photo.  Then I sketch spring directions and write CC or CW.

What  I was thinking was that when you're packing the spring in the barrel,
it can be started either clockwise, or counterclockwise, depending on
whether it's the winding nend, where the winding gear is, or where it's the
driving end, which attaches to the drive gear.  (there must be a better way
to say it), but I had wondered if one of the springs could have been
started in the wrong direction. If that were done, it might have some funny
behavior, or possibly, the motor could not be wound at all. And too,
packing directions with a 4 spring motor could give you some strange
effects if one spring was inserted in reverse. ?????

The "Victor thump" is enough of an annoyance,without having the motor not
working properly!
