Wow, nice:
Enter the ' PROXY GEAR '.
I remember, recently saw that great, mechanical computer video, featuring a ' Range fire Computer '.
That, would track an early airplane, effectively 'doing' calculus, for the tracking, using RADAR input feed ...
Well,... anyway, this ' Proxy' whatever, it's really a;
1) ' Proxy Motor ', as it runs, almost exactly, to the tooth, in step with the 'real' motor, the one in the next switch box (or station).
2) well, uh, it's not.
It's really a PROXY of a VIRTUAL MOTOR. Er...
3). How about: it's a virtual motor, a 'Proxy Gear', and it's a proxy for another 'virtual motor'.
(or gear-train).
Plus, it's looking like it is possible to make a 'self-extinguishing' switch, using the features in a virtual motor right there, to basically indicate the 200 to 400 milli-Seconds it takes, normally, to fully switch, thus start to an 'overflow'.
Yup, extremely valuable and simple, for timing, which is actually more literally 'sequencing', at whatever timing it took. Just being carefully, to match gear tooth counts, for the 'Proxy' right there.
