Thanks for the in-depth replied deadlyapp, much appreciated.

I think I'll probably go with two plates ['though possibly a manual adjustment on the outer-most, just to be on the safe-side]. I was tempted to dig out my old Newton-Meter from Comprehensive School, but think trial and error would probably suit me as well if I'm going for an adjustable.

I will however keep this thread bookmarked for the Mk II, heh.

In case you're interested, here's a maquette I stuck together for a deadline at college: http://tinyurl.com/32o6p68

As the plan stands the winding mech will be embedded in the uppermost runner, and work on a recessed wheel in the winding button.

Thanks again for the help!


{EDIT:} Also, as you can maybe see in the photo, the movement I aim t'use for this is automatic, so it has the slip-clutch you mentioned. While this is only a budget movement, I hope the end-of-the-line movement will be a touch classier. {/EDIT}
