Default Why are capstan wheels different size?

Jasen Betts asked wisely:

do they have the same capstan diameter?


I was just about to say €śSilly question!€ť but instead thought better...

one 2mm, one 2.2mm

I guess the difference is driven (c; by the fact (stated by Phil) that the
flywheels are different diameters to discourage mechanical resonance.

Thanks Jasen!
