Message	has dimnished to only clutch springs for just one team. Aerospace is our bread and butter and with it booming lately, we have to take care of it. Here's something I've been working in my free time over the past year. It's a cycle tester for springs which is loosely based upon a radial engine, albeit we are driving it with a 50HP electric motor - it has 1" to 10" stroke capability, 240 max RPM (4Hz) and can test up to four springs at a time. For a scale reference, the octagonal crankcase is 36" across from flat to flat. All of the parts are 95% finished and I expect to run it through some trials in the next few months. This has been extremely fun to design.
