Well, I shouldn't do this kinda thing at midnight (or at least not type
it up). It's not a scale mm off, there was a mm difference from when I
placed the ruler on the various drawings. I'm not an engineer nor do I
play one on t.v., so I dorked up the terminology...but I hope everyone
realized that...
