	Are you "Winding us up?" You will have to give US the details! What size drum? How much cable? How fast? What kind of cable? What type? Electrical? Hoist? Etc. Etc. __________________ Do Nothing Simply When a Way Can be Found to Make it Complex and Wonderful

	Hmmmmm Sounds like a snare drum to me. Its in detail, (or rather just underneath it) of de horse. Your lack of specifics has ME reeling. __________________ "The more I learn, the more ignorant I realize I am."

	it's all depend on your bearing friction brother. What kind of bearing you used to support the drum. search for rolling friction. normally 10% of total weight(cable + drum) for roller bearing is enough. but you need to cater the inertia for the drum when stopping/brake also. get what i mean.

	Is the product copper, steel or alluminum? If steel, what is the carbon content? What is the empty diameter of the spool? Is this take-up following a strander or is it taking up from another spool? Is the payoff static or dynamic? Is the tension controlled by a dancer? What is the amount of tension you will be trying to maintain for your package?
