        Here is something the manufacturers can do for EM
        encoders:  Install at SPDT spring-loaded switch on the

WHAT !

	Where are you going to find a product designer today that
 	even knows what that device might be?    We are now in 
	the world of software controlled everything.   My pet 
	gripe is the device that we used to adjust with a 
	'Greenie" (small screw-driver) now requires a computer.
	Electro-Mechanical solutions to problems are in the 
	Same category as - Typewriters etc.    Stop and think 
	About how few people today are able to drive a car
	With a stick shift.

	Sorry Barry - We are in the age where simple problems
	REQUIRE complex and complicated solutions.
