I once saw an RP04 that spun backwards.
The heads would not load, but there was nothing 'magic' about it...
There was a baffle that partially closed off the hole in the drum wall that
the heads came through. This baffle was opened by the airflow inside the
drum going the right way round. If the pack was spinning backwards the the
airflow blew the baffle closed. The heads would not load until the baffle
was open.
