give me a few weeks to prepare the material. ditto to the
precommsisioing of the piping system. The equation and graph are
sourced from books (some no longer printed), specs prepared by EPC.
Format will be etiher in jpg scan or pdf and ms word with some

Im not really hoping anyone to notice my posting much more show
interest in the design of trunnion.
