A question:  Are those spinning balls a flywheel, or a speed  
regulator.  It seems that if the maker wanted a flywheel effect, the  
cheapest and easiest way to get it is with a flywheel - one casting  
that is fixed to the axle.  On the other hand, why regulate the speed  
of a hand driven drill in such an elaborate manner?  And it doesn't  
seem to be adjustable. So what were they thinking?
