[time-nuts] Fundamental limits on performance

[Bob Camp]

Hi

If you are shaking small stuff at low frequencies, a long throw low
frequency speaker can do a pretty good job as a shaker. You can "eyeball"
calibrate to a reasonable (<10%) level of accuracy.

Now, that's why I want one for myself... if I had the space and money.

However, it's about acoustics and mechanical design, and I am not 
totally clueless on those issues, just not done any *real* work.
