Hi Jerry,  I am sure others will post the various sites showing magnetic =
damping, but I just wanted to share my experiences with both types of =
damping, oil vs magnetic.
I used Chris's magnetic design and it worked perfectly, very effective, =
very simple and easy to adjust.
But before that, I tried the oil in a cup design.   It too was simple =
and easy to adjust.  When I filled the cup, one of my wife's Tupperware =
containers I spilled a little oil on the floor,  After adjusting it I =
spilled a little more, then I bumped it and spilled alot.  I needed to =
move things around and in doing so I spilled the entire cup,  =
Fortunately it was on a concrete floor, but I had to use solvents and =
lots of paper towels, to get the oil off of the concrete.
THINGS HAPPEN!   The oil, seems to be a good damp, but compared to the =
magnetic there is no contest.
Thanks, Ted   ps if you email me I can send you a close-up of the =
magnetic damper on my Lehman.

  Where may I find details for constructing magnetic damping for a =
Lehman sensor, please.

  Thank you,
