[CAUT] String scaling help svp?

[Ron Overs]

Hi Ron N,

Just noticed that you posted in response to Mark's question also. 
Interesting that our formulas differ a little in the percentage break 
calculation. I think from memory I'm using the numbers from Al 
Sanderson.

It would be interesting to test the wire for breaking strain against 
the formula some time.
