Don't know if that helps ??


It doesn't give *me* any clues as to its mode of operation, I'm afraid - but
I don't claim to be the world's leading expert in these matters.

If you feel like doing a little experiment, you could remove the A-Z strap,
and fit a strap between A and S instead - and see whether it works when you
tell it to go backwards. It might just use a different set of internal
windings in this mode, and they might be ok.

Could you still use it if it rotated the other way - maybe by fitting the
belt in a figure of 8 or something if your machinery minds which way it
turns?
