      Someone says something about your designs? No one is drawing? We're all top-secret mode?

            I know how you feel!. Unfortunately, the drawings, explanation and spread sheet are all too large for this forum. Let me know an email address and I will forward them to you directly. And then I will destroy your email address. ;-)
