[SEL] Lineshaft equipment

[Paul Pavlinovich]

I agree it would look nicest to use a hit-n-miss - but in a machine shop 
where you need a steady speed and there is a lot of crud flying around, 
I'd be thinking an enclosed throttle governed engine - maybe even a 
diesel would be the way to go. You'd get a nice steady speed and the 
engine would be immune from swarf and chips etc.
