Hi Ron O,
Me too. My fault here. I was on #76 instead of #75. Wrong 
frequency. Yup, that'd do it. When I'm on the right page, our 
numbers match.

I've checked against what published information I could find, 
and it's in the vicinity of the center of a pretty broad 
average. I don't know what the allowable tensile strength 
measurements from batch to batch range. Plenty accurate for 
scaling though, I'd think, if we stay within a reasonable 
safety factor. No 59mm C-8 for me, thanks.
