[Elecraft] Not necessarily an Elecraft subject!

[Bob Cunnings]

If you can't find one, try using a 1/4" wire rope clamp with the legs
pointing "up". It's easily adjusted but stays in place when the nuts
are hand-tightened. I use one on an Original I've set up for slower
speeds. I lined the saddle of the clamp with a piece of vinyl
electrical tape so it doesn't scratch the shaft.

I can now work at 18-22 wpm with my Iambic.  But I wouldn't dare try to get on the air even at the "bugs" slowest speed adjustment which is in the range of 30 wpm.
