DUH!

I apologise for the confusion. I should have paid more attention to what I
was measuring and typing. It's Monday, I'm swamped with work and all I can
think about is the MWTCA meeting in Battle Creek later this week. My mind
doesn't seem to stay focused on any one thing for very long today 8^)

First, the area above the wear is what is 55d (as Louis shows above). The
C&W razee wear is obviously not parallel with the bed. A little cardboard
and a protractor tells me it is about 10d off vertical (about 80d when view
in the same plane as the bed angle. I've modified Louis' ASCII art above to
help clarify. I'm sure my measurements are not exact, but I'm bound to be
pretty close. Hopefully Larry or Bill will correct me if I'm way out in left
field on this.

Just say (tmPL), I seem to be putting out fires with gasoline today.
