I did connect it, since (smart as it is) the controller has no other way 
of 
knowing how hot the motor is getting.  It has never tripped, but then it 
never did with the original GE controls, either.

However, now that I think about it, I'm not so sure I connected it the 
right 
way.  Instead of just putting it in series with the main B+, I connected 
it 
into the controller enable line (with the keyswitch and brake switch). 
That 
might not have been such a good idea. Asking an overheated motor to 
perform 
plug braking might not be too healthy for it.

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
