Hi Ron, Funny this should just just post this I just finished doing a paralellogram of force and came to 30lbs at 180lbs This is further reduced by a 1 degree bearing deflection at the front, and a 2 degree deflection at the rear. The front pin has a little more side bearing than the rear. With both pins having more than 90lbs, ( 180 total) I was starting to wonder where the tension grew from. <G> Realistically, if we take into consideration, friction and down bearing, I would guess about 24-25lbs. You son of a gun, I had to find a dusty old book. You had me thinking for a while. Ouch it hurt. Have a good one Roger At 09:48 AM 4/14/01 -0500, you wrote: >>Sorry Old Stump (sort of like a fence post, only with bark), but that >>string at 175lbs and a 10° bearing will be over 90lbs side bearing on that >>pin. > >Oops, I blew it. That's the unison. It's a little over 30 lbs per string. >Got caught not paying attention again. > >Ron N >
