I know that a lot of you have gone to just cable, and not slip
rings. In central Alberta, Canada, I have found out, the hard way,
that winds go in a pattern. This may not be applicable to all,
depedinding on location, but here, you can't depend on Mother Nature.
I have a small genny, at 60 feet, and I am happy with it.
But recently, it stopped headig into the wind. I thought that
the bearings had locked up, but they were fine. Of course it took
me far too long to figure out that the welding cable was wound so
tight that nothing could turn.
Sliprings are not required for all, but in some locations,
there is not a choice.
Thanks to all that submitted to the Mech, section. It was a lot
of help.
