Ditto for me Joe. An attached email would be fine.

Regarding my high torque, I know. This is only my second block. Still trying
to overcome fears of loose pins, and thus aim for a little tight rather than
a little loose. The block is the cheaper rotary cut 7 or 9 laminations. In
my first block I had a couple of pins over 250 in-lbs. Snapped one pin in
half (no sweat with that though - CA glue to the rescue! - Don't worry, it
was a dummy pin in the low tenor where rescaling had switched a plain
tricord note to a wound bicord). So, at a consistent (I trust they will be)
160 in.-lbs. I'm headed in the right direction!  :-)

Mr. Joe,
    I would love one of these charts. If you can scan it send it along as an
attachment. I do hate to cost you money for snail mail. This sounds like an
invaluable reference! Thanks for offering!!!!
