As I said in an earlier post I'm more of a software kind of guy. Could you
describe what the arrangements are for an "RC snubber", and what the
connection arrangements are with respect to the motor contacts! Also if you
are feeling particularly educational any chance of explaining how the thing
works (or are we well into the black art of hardware design here...)!

Thanks

Andy
