The INDEX Rotary

Until now, there hasn't been a name for the cam-operated version of our Axis/Slingshot model rotary machine. It's pretty annoying that the word 'cam' is sort of taken, by a company full of people that have no tattoos.

Anyways, I have been reading up on cam terminology. The word 'index' describes one phase of a cam operated device's position. Often, a curve or graph is used as a visual display to describe this 'index.'

This term INDEX pertains to cams, sounds important, and has an 'x' at the end of it so it's extra cool. I think we will call the cam-operated Slingshot the INDEX ROTARY.

What do y'all think?

  1. ok i may have posted this, or may have just started to. my apologies if duplicate. how 'bout indek's? just kidding. i say yes to the name. then tag it as cam, operated, rotary, etc. that way, when people look up cam rotaries you pop up! btw that is ingenuous and i really want a brass one. too bad by the time i get the money they'll surely be gone! :(
