I am sure Mr. McKone would see evidence to such suspicion... Ratio's aside...and dealing with the capstan to whippen click..I maintain that PERHAPS the forefinisher mistakenly disturbed the stack position after having marked the capstan position ...testing for this logic would preclude redrilling the capstans....We can also recognize that the problem lends an opportunity for resetting key ratios.
