Bob,
That's how I see it - it works except for 1300 to 1500 rpm, as the springs 
are already in tension. Tracy speaks about torsional resonance, rather than 
torsional vibrations ( to me it's like splitting hairs) and he goes on to 
talk about the ride being smoother. Smoother ride equates to less transfer 
of vibrations, to me. Therefore if I wanted to make sure about isolating the 
gearbox from torsional vibrations/ resonance
large reversals (single rotor as I'm doing) I would not depend upon the 
springs.

However Ernest is happy to accept the concept for the convenience, which I 
suspect is the ability to drive the inlet shaft of the PSRU - with off the 
shelf components.
