No, but it ought to be. Mike McCoy started this as a chapter 
project/technical in the summer of 1996, and posted the first 
two measurements to the list. I built the spreadsheet for it, 
and added charts last time. Every time Mike has done an 
update, the project has been posted to the list. Actually, 
it's coming up on time for another measurement before long. I 
find it interesting that every block seems to have it's own 
comfortable settled torque range, however tight they start, 
and however small the drilled hole, they won't get much tighter.
