The capstan problem is typical of any device that handles tape, either
magnetic or paper. I have a number of devices with melted capstans. My
casual knowledge of other's work, is to either find a similar rubber
capstan and transfer the rubber (Bill Degnan suggested this also); or to
mill out (as in milling machine) a chunk of rubber to fit. So I'd like
to hear about any resolution for this rubber capstan problem.
