Subject:     Photovoltaic motors
Text:        Is there a registry or professional organization (such as the 
American Manufacturer's Association) of firms using or producing photovoltaics 
or high-efficiency motors?

Text:        I do not know if there is a registry of users, but at least in 
the high efficiency motor field, look up a magazine called MOTION.  While it 
deals mostly with high performance servo loops, the motors used are also 
necessarily high efficiency.  There are several manufacturers of high-
efficiency motors, most of which use Sum-Cobalt or Neo-Iron materials.  Check 
the Thomas Registers for Servo motor manufacturers.
