Well I took the measurements that Joe H reccomended and addresses Bills question and put them into a spreadsheet hoping it would make sense to you guys.

And please remember that My measurement tools are limited but I do feel that while the numbers may not be 100% they do show a pattern that indicates what the problem might be. I have a hunch but would rather not cloud your thoughts with my opinion. Probably better to go in with an open mind.

Jerry, thanks for the offer, very generous. Take a look at what's here and maybe it will make sense to you. I may give you a call tomorrow. Thanks all!

THIS might be easier
