Hi Calin I almost included this in my last post, but seemed to remember upon my initial reading of your experiement that it did not really bear on the agraffe discussion. I just had another gander at your experiement and dont see the direct connection. Your experiment deals with the duplex and counterbearing angle questions and its conclusions agree (not suprisingly) perfectly with Ed McMorrows "de-tuned" duplex idea published some 15 years ago now I think. Cheers RicB I have a feeling that everybody is making things much more complicated than they really are, about the way bridge agraffes work. I have no scientific measurements or formulas to back my own simple explanation, just a few experiments and the fact that bridge agraffes performed pretty much the same way I had imagined before I had a chance to hear one for real.
