A mate of mine takes that Magazine although I don't remember him telling me about it. I'll see if he's still got it. He probably has 'cause he's a Bachelor and a candidate for one of those TV Programmes wher they go along to muck out people's Houses
I have to say I'm pretty unimpressed my Picture 5.

I fear he's right. A small Processor and a couple of Stepper Motors would do the job. Perhaps someone could do it with a Raspberry Pi.
On the other hand a couple of Up-Down Counters and Variable Frequency Oscillators would probably do the job fine, and also do Wave winding as well.
