I'm still working on the driving license, but I could see myself in that role. Too bad you live on the wrong continent. :-) -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com

Ok: "I guess you aren't aware of the fact that there have been consoles with linear faders based on rotary resistive encoders, AKA regular potentiometers." I would like know what such a beast is, please. Sean

Remember when radios had dial cords for their tuning capacitors? The idea was to have a linear dial using a tuning cap that had a rotating shaft. This approach has been used to make a linear faders for low end consoles out of regular rotary potentiometers in the 1970s, if memroy serves. The idea of moving the contact of a fader with a cord connected to the knob was trotted out again to make motorized faders in the early 1990s.
