- Mk.IV - Mains Paper Tape Winder
This is my Mark IV Paper Tape Winder. Mains powered with speed control. I am trying the removable bobbin hub instead of the 4 posts, as inspired by the paper tape winder at the Cambridge Computer Museum.
Trial run with 8k Basic V4.0
Mk.II (Hand Winder) = 33 seconds
Mk. III (DC powered) = 12.5 seconds
Mk. IV (Mains powered) = 23 seconds
I have yet to adjust the speed controller on the Mains version. With more speed comes more torque!!!! With more torque comes more FEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
As I believe Tim "The Toolman" Taylor would say - "MORE POWER!!!"
Anyone else have a timed rewind for 8k Basic V4.0?
