I looked and looked and could not find anybody willing to
wind my ignition coils. Probably most are made in china or
with automation.

A coil winder that would do what I need done is several thousand
dollars.

I had to invent my own.

Can anybody tell me what it has in common with the Wright brothers
flyer ? :)

How about using a fishing reel with the mechanism to wind the line back
and forth.
Just modify it to be able to remove the end opposite the crank. Could
drive it with a drill and use a micro switch to turn it off when the
required diameter (number of turns) is reached.

I have never gone fishing :) They are costly are they not?


The bearing plates are done with the bearings pressed in.

Paul,
That crossed belt would wear out in a flash would it not ? the
fishing reel idea is a stoke of genius apart from having to dismantle it
to change reels, the front loader type of reel would be ideal though.

The RPM is rather low and they are cheap O-rings 10 to a McMaster pack.
