Hi Derfred;

Reading your posts on the Boeing and your discussions with other members with interest, thanks.

I posted the info purely because it didn't seem to be anywhere to be found in any of the usual manuals crews have access to. It seemed like it was good to know this about the B737's manual (wheel) trim system so it sets one's awareness of a rarely-used system and sets expectations of the rate one is turning the wheel so one doesn't give up just because "nothing seems to be changing".
