Yep, that's it. Nice little *click* as the motor comes up to speed.

But that is odd; the motor was running faster with the field in one 
direction as opposed to the other. And when I ran it with the field on 
then took the field off it spun up to a higher speed in one direction. 
Something was keeping the field going I think.

*nod* Not something I'm going to do right now :-) But I will fiddle with 
it a bit more later.
