Motor System

Hello all,
We have discovered exactly how the motors of the Leslie work.
The motor is either on or off, spinning fast when it is on (440rpm).
In order to spin it at Slow speed, a metal pin of about 1.5cm in diameter is dropped onto a rubber lined disc that is on the motor. This creates rotational friction that slows the motor down to 45rpm.
We are going to use a different system, made up of gears in order to spin our Leslie.
Best,
Chris M.
