Stressbar discussion...

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

I re-read the article, and I there is still something not right...  What read 
said that --if-- it deflected .42", you would have a full degree of camber 
loss.  In his situation, he saw .20".  Now did I misread something?

LMK,
  David
