Dear Everyone,
Today I spoke with one of the most utterly
respected bellymen, frequently published in the
Journal and in a "position" to know PLENTY about old,
pre - AMPICO Knabes......
Well, HE said, after examining these wide, fat,
shallow ribs upon removal from old boards, that they
ARE "rib-crowned"!
And so, perhaps, also with my Ivers and Pond, and
Packard ???
So much for the notion that these ribs are, by
necessity, flat......
Peace,
G
P.S. I'm now wondering if the grain orientation on
these ribs is such as to better lend themselves to
elasticty.
Just a "hunch".
