Re: automotive alternator as a Stepper Motor

Several years ago I purchased the video tape in question - The application
was for a woodworking job - I thought it was very clever although a little
less "precise" than what was needed for most machining operations - If
anyone is interested I'll try to find the records & video tape in my files
(This was more than 10 years ago I think & sometimes I can't find stuff from
last week) -

I work for the Australian company 'Microcraft Electronics' that sold the
video tape 'CNCXYZ' that describes how to rewind car alternators to become
stepping motors. We have lost contact with the copyright owner John Rees
(USA) but someone may know of him.
Original contact was made with Mr Rees though Don Lancaster (of CMOS
cookbook fame) and he may be able to help.
