	Method for producing a spinning nozzle plate - Patent 4694548
		In most cases, the spinning nozzle channels are composed of preliminary channels into which the material to be spun is fed and nozzle capillaries through which the material is discharged in the form of fibers, the nozzle capillaries being in flow communication with the substantially wider preliminary channels.
		A galvanic layer is electrodeposited on the exposed portions of the electrode plate, the galvanic layer thereby defining a plurality of funnel-shaped preliminary channels.
		Plate 12 is a continuous plate and the resist layer 121 may be applied thereto by conventional coating means, such as by roller or dip coating.

	Plate Spinning

		Spin a plate on your subordinate hand, holding it right at the end (the end should point against the centre of your palm), then point the stick on your dominant hand to the end of the subordinate stick.
		Get two plates spinning on two sticks first, then throw a plate up high with the subordinate hand, then as the plate is falling down throw the dominant one up, then catch the subordinate one, then throw it and catch the dominant one, and so on...

	how to juggle, free juggling and plate spinning instructions
		Speed up the whipping motion until the plate is spinning with the wand inside the rim, and then stop moving the wand, holding it firm and upright.
		Using the other hand hold the plate so that underside of the plate is facing your own face, head height, slightly angled so as to be able to 'hang' the plate on the wand tip inside the rim on the underside of the plate.
		Most people eventually develop a technique of gently 'pushing' the plate at the time the holding hand releases it, via the contact-point between the lower part of the rim and the stem of the wand (which will be about six inches from the tip).

	Jugglingworld - tricks - plate spinning
		The main problem that people have is lassooing the plate (where the stick is staying in the same position on the underside of the plate and therefore not speeding up and being flung around in a circle).
		Remember you have a time limit (as plates spin for relatively short periods of time), and that the plates in one hand should not collide with each other or the other sticks or else they will slow down or fall off.
		While holding the plate on a stick with your right arm, curl it under your body (you may need to hold the stick near the plate end to do this!) Pass it behind your back, and then curl it back under your left arm using your left arm.
