Haines grand rep springs (again)

[Barbara Richmond]

Greg,

My reaction to that picture of the parts sort of reminds me of Bill Murray
and Steve Martin from Saturday Night Live, their eyes squinted and doing
their "What the hell is that thing?" skit (Guess I'm dating myself here!).
I've lived a very sheltered life and have never seen such an action.  Is
there anyway to provide a side shot of the parts on the stack?   Or anybody,
is there a picture of this type of action someplace?

Thanks for sharing!

Barbara Richmond, RPT
somewhere near Peoria, IL
