[TowerTalk] Rotator specs? - Tnx!

[Rex Lint]

Actually, POUNDS is the force, SLUGS is the mass.  In the metric system
KILOGRAMS is the mass, NEWTONS is the force.  But getting the masses to
understand the difference between mass and weight (one of many forces) is
problematic. So I say, "Whatever..."

Which when it comes to force in the English system it's slugs and not 
pounds while in the metric system  IIRC it's kilograms
It's been a long time since I really had to do those problems.

Pardon me, I'm trying to learn Windows 7 and am remembering why I took 
Vista Ultimate off the computers and went back to XP Pro.
