The motor you discribe is propably a 6 pole, 60 Hz high slip induction
motor. At the high speed position it will run at 1050 rpm when it is
loaded at its rated load. (Which for a forced air furnace fan is
typically 1/5, 1/4, or 1/3 hp). The speed adjustments will typically
reduce the speed to about 700 rpm at the low speed. This is done by
disconnecting some of the coils of wire in the motor and thus increasing
the slip. (for this motor slip=(1200-speed)/1200)

Your problem sounds similar to one I have with my furnace fan. I have a
1/3 hp motor, but it takes far less then 1/3 hp to turn the fan.
Therefore the motor runs close to its synchronous speed (1200 rpm). The
speed adjustments will change the slip of the machine by aproximatly a
fixed %. With the motor running close to 1200 rpm the slip is small (0.05
for 1140rpm), so the resulting speed change is small (but if you use a
strope light, as I did, you will see it change) At rated load the slip is
much higher (0.125 in your case) The same % change in this larger number
will produce a speed change which is noticable. 

In your case, I suspect your blower is turning at about 1100-1150 rpm
because the motor is to powerful. Solutions are 
	1.) buy different pulleys (smaller on the motor, larger on the blower)
	    This won't work if it is direct drive.
	2.) buy a smaller hp motor (if you have 1/3 hp, you ussaly can find a 
          1/5 hp which is the same physical size so that you don't have
to 
          change any mounting hardware)
	3.) reduce the operating volatge (not a very practicle solution)

As part of the DARPA Initiative in Concurrent Engineering,
the Research and Development Center of General Electric
developed 2 different Electronic Design Notebook (EDN)
implementations.

Both EDNs were based on commercial tools and frameworks in 
the UNIX environment.
One was based on Framemaker and the other was based on Aster*x.
Aster*x is an office automation product by Applix and contains a
word processing module, a graphics module, a spreadsheet module,
and a mail module.
There is currently a MS Windows version in development, based
on MS Word and MS Excel.
An Apple McIntosh version based on WingZ was started but stopped
due to the lack of an interested customer.

Note that a large part of the EDN is its link into a framework of
engineering design tools. I don't have enough time or space here
to describe these frameworks or all of the tools that we built
into the frameworks.

A number of general principles have been identified and white
papers have been generated. There is an in depth case study of
a pilot site where some of the tools were used. Case study
and marketing videos have also been produced.

Any company that performs work for the Defense Dept. can get
access to most of this stuff, most including source code. 
Some from The Center for Concurrent Engineering (CERC) in 
West Virginia, and some for the GE Research and Development 
Center in upstate NY.

Information can also be provided to other major industrial
companies depending on competition and level of interest factors.

Email me if you want to know how to get additional information.

P.S.
Stevens Institute of Technology at Hoboken, NJ is currently
developing an EDN. They are starting from "scratch" instead
of using commercial tools and frameworks.

That's what I was thinking before I came to that line.  Of course, being
here in Sillycon Valley, vacuum deposition is kinda a natural thought.

Given a good vacuum mechanic shop, you should be able to dip your
crystal in several layers of hydrophobic insulator....

Ericsson is a fairly big company in telecommunications.  We have a
fund, that gives stipends to a few employees every year so that they
can go abroad for a year or more to study or do some research - a sort 
of sabbathical if you wish.  In the last several years, almost all
applicants to these stipends have wanted to study for a MBA.  This
bothers me and others.  There is nothing wrong with engineers
studying business administration, but one would expect *some* 
engineers in a high tech company to want to increase their *technical*
competence.  I am collecting information on study programs, e.g. MSc 
programs, that could be used for that purpose. 

One possibility is that they address telecommunications broadly, 
i.e. include courses not only in telecom engineering, but also in 
related disciplines, like telecom management, computer science, 
business, public policy, etc.  I know of one such program, Carnegie 
Mellon's Information Networking program.  IEEE Spectrum October 1991 
hints that similar programs exist at Polytechnic Inst of NY, 
U. of Colorado, U. of Pittsburgh, and George Washington University.  
If you can provide information about these programs or others, or 
have e-mail addresses of people I could ask directly, please let me 
know, probably best by e-mail to lmebgo@kiera.ericsson.se

Another possibility is that the study programs address a narrower
area, that is important to us, in some depth.  Examples of such 
areas are many parts of computer science (logic programming, object 
orientation, real time systems, software engineering), advanced optics, 
radio (mobile telephony), micro electronics, CAD, and of course
advanced courses on telecommunications. Again, if you know of such 
programs, please let me know.

Your help will be much appreciated!

Cost was at least $500 per person.

I would hate to present one of these systems in court.
