Hey All,

I received a couple of nice compliments and questions regarding the videos.
First, Yes, I did make them and it took quite some time to figure out five
years ago or so for a novice like me.

I bought a digital camera that had video capabilities just for NWA 4468 and
experimented with the speed of the turntable so that someone wouldn't get
too bored if it took too long for a full rotation in the video. I then had
to use a video stitching program to make it seamless when put in repeat mode
so it would appear to keep going around instead of the 20 seconds I decided
on. The funny thing is that a friend and I actually used a Lego set with
motor and gears to slow down the rotator table as a test to see what rpm
speed of table I needed to find to make the one for video. I have pictures
of that setup I will have to share at some point.

Best Regards,
Greg
