First question. Is there any sign that at least some of the courses 
of lead were laid out by pattern? Erratic FWs and pattern leading 
might seem incompatible, but some of the middle courses could display 
a pattern. Sometimes the course closet to the fulcrum is left up to 
the worker doing the balancing, but most often it'll be the outside 
course. I seem to remember that for some interval during the last 
fifteen years, Baldwin was sending its smaller grands out with 100% 
of their leading set by pattern.
