got me thinking of a rotor I made late 60's.
Took a 20 horse evenrude lower unit and put the upper shaft through the wall into house. Bolted it to house outside and put antana pole on the propshaft. ROTOR , was good to be young and broke LOL. |

Quoted: I was going to get a Manuel rotator. "Manuel, turn it to the west... a little more... OK, right there. You can come in and get a Dos Ecces now. Then finish trimming along the fence." Reminds me of my first Field Day. I asked a guy where the rotator was and he said "We're the rotator" as he he pulled the beam around with a rope. |

That's what we used on our beam this last field day. A stake in the ground kept it pointed in the direction it had been turned to, well within a degree or two. |

Yep, Armstrong rotation is the most common term. |
