thanks @rauliruegas
There's actually a Townshend rock group on facebook that is run by a guy called Matt McNulty - very knowledgable. Sadly Max passed away recently and he was always open to discussion. I have a copy of the Bugge Thesis and Max was happy to let me share it. It's genuine scientific reasoning - not the usual quackery. The interesting thing was that it hints to the fact that bugge wanted to use this on a direct drive turntable motor unit. I am gonna do it with a Sony TTS8000
