</X-TAB>I
looked at this somewhat differently than you describe below. I am not =
looking
at 25 watts as 25 BTU's but rather just how much energy is being used =
by the
rod. Since the short one and the long one use the same amount of =
electricity
but are in fact different in size they it seems to follow that they =
would
produce a different amount of heat. This is where my idea of an =
imbalance
comes in. Is my thinking correct here?<BR><BR>Greg<BR><BR><BR>At 03:51 =

you for the feedback. While it is not as much discussion as I had =
hoped
it, I believe, had the desired result. While Ruth Phillips =
mentions below
that the 25Watt Rod was discontinued as a system staple I have to
disagree. The part number G6PS (top item on page 22 of the Jansen
catalogue includes both a 2' and a 4' 25 watt rod. I also disagree =
with
others that posted (Don I think it was) who said that the two rods =
producing very different amounts of heat would not necessarily =
produce an
imbalance. I paraphrased to clarify my point but I can't see how =
it could
be anything but. Don's argument was that I did not take into =
account
convection currents. It would seem to me that if one was too hot =
to hold
and the other could be held all day being only luke warm then any
convection currents would be more in the category of WIND to not =
produce
an imbalance. I can agree with others who have posted that they =
never
noticed any problems. Neither have I. Even though the two bars =
produce an
entirely different amount of heat they are not necessarily doing =
damage.
It seems that it could certainly be said, however, that they are =
not doing
the best job possible. Any further thoughts?<BR><BR>

<DD>On the soundboard, once compression has taken place, drying =
the wood
is not going to make it disappear. When you install a =

corrections based on what you find at that point. It may =
take some
time as there will be residual change, such as there is when you =
change
pitch. Every change causes reactions, and you keep at it =
until the
change is so miniscule that the reaction is meaningless.<BR>
<DD>I hope this helps to clarify what you found.<BR>
