Newton... thats the point now aint it ?? that understanding is not in place... thats why folks like Terry and I ask questions. Not to worry tho... I am, and I believe Terry probably is also the type that will figure it all out sooner or later... no matter how many Bostons or Duysens we have to tear into. But it would be nice with a bit of dialouge beyond the obvious when such queries are posted. Grin... God knows I dont know enough about any of this stuff yet to be giving any solid advice... Stanwoods "method" is (cant possibly be) fundementally at odds with previous knowledge on the subject matter so there should be plenty things to talk about even for Stanwood licensees that doesnt breach his patent protection stuff. As far as I can see, Stanwood takes an approach to action geometry that is, shall I say, "weight priority" founded, instead of "lengths priority". And it does so to provide a more predictable way of achieving intended design results in a way that is more cost effective then present standard factory proceedure. This stuff is the real meat and potatoes of action work, and seems more akin to the "sauce".. should be more discussion about it if you ask me. How else can we uppgrade our skills aside from investing thousands of dollars in a licencing program and that before we really have refined enough basic understandings to really benefit fully from such programs ?? Terry asks for help in a real problem he wants to start being able to deal with. You guys in the real know should be giving him a real hand. > > Have a lovely Sunday all.
