Interesting.

I'm surprised that the R10s could even try to take power when the camshaft was out of the starting position. I'd have thought that the line switch would be interlocked with the first contactor on the camshaft so that the lineswitch couldn't close without the first contactor being in its correct position. If that were the case and the camshaft was in an incorrect position, the lineswitch would not be able to close and apply power to the system until the camshaft returned to the start position - neatly solving the take-up problems. It sounds like there might have been a bit of a design problem there...

I'd like to hear those recordings - they sound like there going to be better than PCCs spinning and axle or two...
