Sorry, its me again. Wouldn't it be more accurate, and hence, serve to reduce the difference between SWR and SMR even further if when calculating balance weight we would take the sum of balanced up and down weights x actual key ratio, as opposed to an arbitary, generic average? It makes no sense to use actual key ratio for calculation of SMR, but some non-specific value (.5) for SWR. Whether you use the traditional straight line key ratio, or PW/WA (h/v), it really should be consistant. Naturally, this would apply to normal touchweight measurements as well, but I suppose that considering how limited touchweight information is anyway, it wouldn't make much difference. Dennis Johnson P.S. I just broke my ankle, am trying to adapt to crutches, and it is a drag. I was very impressed with the department here though, because they have assigned student workers in shifts to follow me around and help carry and/or move things whenever needed. It really helps. Be careful on that damm ice!
