Looking For An ATF Ruling

At one time ATF issued a ruling that running the action on a firearm with an electric motor made it readily convertible and thus a machinegun.

If I am recalling correctly, it was associated with putting an electric motor on a Gatling gun, but was phrased so that any use of an electric motor to drive the action of any gun was forbidden.

Does anyone have a copy of that letter they can share?
