Thanks, Horo, much obliged!
I remember the problems with Vianney's prototype of the Cabestan and where to place the crank without it getting lost.

Mechanical is powered by overlaid twin barrel and electronic by a simple crank....
From handling it earlier...it takes about 10-15 full turns of the crank to full "charge" a power capacitor, like a dynamo. Will try to write something and live pictures tomorrow. It's 4am here in Singapore :) Best, Horo
