Holy hell... you know what you remind me of? The chess-master, Bobby Fischer... playing a half dozen games at once! LMAO!

Well I would hope not! You seem like a great guy... I would hate to have to report you to the authorities.
So I've really been looking over your progress with the "
American w/ S&G". First thing I noticed is your graphs:
They've become much more precise and the layout is a nice logical, easy to follow spread. Nice to follow along now.
So allow me to
'stir the pot' a little. Some more for you to stew over until your next visit if you will. lol
Keep in mind, these are more so
thoughts than
advice... may hinder more than help... but anyway....

Also I never finished the amp at 70... I think I reasoned it would be easier to read if I narrowed down one of the canyons and moved on from there... And so I produce graph 2...
I agree with you. 58,70, and 75 just didn't seem definitive enough to pursue at that time.
Especially considering you have two deep canyons that are much more deserving of your time.
According to your amplification for 17.5.... 18 & 19 gave you the best readings.
Why not choose 18.5? 17.5 just seems to be pushing awfully close to the edge.

The other thing is your hi/low tests for 37. I feel your pain!! LOL. Your results seemed SO solid, placing it on w3.
Naturally doubt creeps in when you isolated w3 and came upon a nice reading at 44... arrrrgh! Earlier you made
mention of a sticky fly on w3. Something to consider possibly? The typical range of motion for a fly in an S&G is
approximately 10-12 increments. You've now found two very distinct readings on that wheel, diferring by 7 incs.
Also, when you're running your hi/low tests... are you being mindful of the rotational directions you're using?
This will have a big impact on your results. Dialing the same # from two different directions will place the
wheel slightly different. The varience comes from the widths of the flys. They must be accounted for.
e.g. Your hi test for 37. You chose 50 as your test number. If you found 37 with a right rotation,
then be sure to dial it the same way in all 3 of your test combos.
50 37 37 ..... L R
37 50 37 ..... R L R
37 37 50 ..... R L
This way you approach 37 with a R-rotation, and 50 with a L-rotation every time. Consistancy.
You've listed some possible combinations you want to try before graphing any more. I think you certainly have enough
information to make some educated tries. It's always worth a few minutes of your time in comparison to another graph.
But here again, if you're interchanging numbers, wheels, directions, etc., some thought has to go into accounting for
the flys and the differences they produce. (e.g. dialing w1 R18. To place the wheel in the same position while coming
from the other way may vary as much as 2 1/4.... so you'd have to dial L 20 1/4).
Can't wait till you pop this thing
