Rotational Conversion Constants ... How to use them
Hi Hello Guys
I've several questions about Rotational Conversion (RC constants)
I have read a lot here about the rotational offset caused by the drive pins and partially reduced
by moving flys. These were presumably designed to nearly retain the wheels max keyspace or
possibly to (try?) to allow "bidirectional combos" (can't see why that would add to the security)
I have seen discriptions of how to derive them (4X AWL or AWR, park @ 50 then "unwind" them
in the "reverse" direction and record the difference from 50 as each of the wheels picks up.
Thats where I'm a bit confused?
I can see how that method will provide RCs that are either all L or all R.
Since when we initially collect our data for graph1 (AWL(or AWR) these readings are also all in one direction
it seems 1 or 2 wheels would be reverse direction of the "correct" combination (in need of RC?)
At what point in the analysis or by what method do we apply the RC to what value
Are we to assume that (after amplification) if a gate is indicated (Hi Lo test) on Wheel 2,
(I understand this is generally the rarest wheel to indicate on spring lever/moving fly locks)
Should the final LRL combo for the gate indicated on wheel 2 be offset by the RC derived for it?
I understand the method of collecting the RCs but not what they represent/or actually are
(since they all pickup it seems like they should be cummulative readings not just per wheel)
Confused....
Thanks for your help
