In a recent article, Z4648252@SFAUSTIN.BITNET ( Larry Rymal )
writes about his experiments with his disk drive.
| I took the drive apart and tried to lower the rpm with
| the potentiometer inside of the drive but Blood Money seemed to not
| notice anything. I checked the drive's speed qith QuickIndex15 again.
| Drive rpm still hovered at 301.
| ... I glued the dime to one side of the flywheel's center.
and asks:
| ... , can the dime's weight cause undue wear on the flywheel?
It would be a big surprise to find any wear on the flywheel itself. (smile).
I would worry about wear on the bearings if the weight is off center.
If it is off center, I would try to balance the it on the flywheel,
with say, a second weight glued at a diametrically opposite point.
