Who can say, although if campanologist followed your name there might
be more certainty in the answer.

	Agreed, the aleatory results from tapered reamers and to an extent
tapered burnishers is an inducement to the concept and use of
cylinderical reamers.   But broaches are tapered aren't they, and
what was the purpose of heating?,, .

	Quiz...How many sides does the "cornered" reamer have, and why not
four or six?

	You mean,  "I. Was a dolt." or your first question becomes an
oxymoron.

While we are on the subject, who was Elizabeth's bellwether??
If her brother had a drop of German blood in him Edward would have
been a Kind King.
Elizabeth a Tudor monarch?  By circumstance only but perhaps not
debatable here execpt to note she did play the virginal.
Richard and his horse?? Are we going to have to establish an "Off
Topic List"  a la Warren's "Humor List?"
