further to: [My research found the opposite comment on several occasions. "The wheel was observed to rotate with with great equanimity and eveness." To me that suggests that it did not not slow down and speed up during rotation and it was also remarked that it displayed the same eveness of rotation whether raising or lowering a load of bricks.]
In the scope of my thinking, the drive from the axle(say lifting a weight on a rope)would be smooth, it is the outer visible casing(from wich no drive is taken)that is backing or slowing imperceptibly during rotation, but then I am probably completely wrong! I can't even decide if I should hang my weights from the outer rim or inner grindstone now.....lol
You have years of research on me.......
