What is it?

The sources describe the PWM32 as a Headway spinner spin controller used with Headway spinners and related fluid dispensing equipment. One source states that the PWM32 Spin Controller was upgraded and the new product is called the PWM50, while older references to PWM32 may persist in Headway material.
