I'd use the same procedure my daddy taught me for testing spark
plugs. Drop the thing in a very, very deep ocean. If it floats
it's good.<br>

materials lift in the warehouse that has seen better days, but
was a bad idea as conceived. There are no travel limits, no
apparent brake, motor or otherwise, no cable retention rollers
on the drum, the car is falling apart, the worm drive has
probably lost all its oil given the look of things... Due to
the lack of cable retention and limits, the car has previously
been landed in the basement taking tension off the cable which
is now all up and under itself on the drum... The only saving
grace is that there are two full wraps on the drum cable
before the stupid gnarly bit. <br>
Lets simply say that there are management issues.<br>
