Thanks reply. I am right now working with a Brown bros dual paddle, 
mounted on a lid of a coffeetin filled up with lead. I am not a slammer, 
but just hate any undeleberate movement. The keyer is based on a chip I 
bought from K1EL
Requirments of a paddle often missed must be: current not through hinges 
and pivots.

David: My speed in writing was the limit I could perform: 40 wpm. Two 
years in a sequence it was certified.  The 70 wpm is a competition that 
you go to listen to one word. You get plenty enough time to write it out 
and every next word is 3 wpm higher speed with plenty of time to write 
it down. In one of several years I attended that competition, I remember 
I copied the word koorts (Dutch for fever) with I believe 72 wpm.  But 
normally the probability of catching a word at that speed is pretty low 
for me.

I designed a number of gadgets for learning Morse code, measuring fist 
and so on, they are published on my website 
pa0wv.home.xs4all.nl/zelfbouw.html and in Belgian an Dutch ham 
periodicals, in Dutch and French language. One design in Greek custom 
made for SV2KBS .  Last created design was the Bug Butcher. That is a 
device that allows to push the dash side of a bug and the long dash is 
automatically divided in dashes of 3 dits long and one dit spacing. 
Speed independent. So you can shift the pendle weight and the dash/dot 
ratio  keeps being 3.

But between  80 and 90 years old,  the candlelight is flushing at a high 
rate.
