Turntable indexing

<p>I consulted my dictionary and Wikipedia, but could not find any information specific to indexing machinery, let alone a railroad turntable. As an electrical engineer who often develops software, to me indexing usually means "choosing one of several", and nothing more. If we're falling on the ears (eyes ?) of any mechanical engineers, perhaps they can comment on the definition as it applies to machinery.</p><p>Yes, I would say the MSC1 improves the operation of the Atlas turntable too as it provides smooth low speed operation and direction control. The thing that I don't like about slow speed on the Atlas turntable is the long pauses at no-track index points. Has anyone ever defeated the Geneva indexing mechanism on this turntable? I bought it for testing only, but have decided to go ahead and use it on my San Juan Central.</p><p>With regards to your SS Ltd. turntable, I would be happy to brainstorm with you. First, what is the bridge drive like? Just a plastic shaft? Gear? Pulley? Does SS Ltd. offer a drive?</p>
