---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment I think perhaps I shouldn't have used the work "geometry" as I did not mean to suggest "action geometry" in the usual sense. I was referring to the note to note evenness of dimensions of all the parts in the action. Since inertia is a function of mass and position, smooth inertia is implied by smooth mass and smooth position. -Mark >Bill Ballard wrote: > >At 10:05 PM -0400 6/10/03, Mark Davidson wrote: >>I wouldn't say that static balancing is meaningless, but for >Stanwood's >>system to work, you have to have smooth weights AND smooth >geometry.
