Fw: Controlling wooden venetian blinds...

["Gareth Cook" <gcook@xxxxxxx>]

Yep - two continuous cords. You have a
suggestion for a particular motor ? Dont need remote control - I'd have to
use a powerfash motor to x10 it.

Is the pull cord a continuous loop, or is it 2 seperate "ends" of cord? -
several curtain motors are available for continuous loop cords. Even if its
currently 2 ends, you should be able to join them to make it into a loop, -
you just have to make sure the join is in aplace where it can travel freely
without getting fouled in the mechanisms. I guess blind cords don't need
*that* much travel anyway?...
