    Okay, fair comment. When you look at the pens, you can see that some are more heavily weighted from the top than others. The reason for that is...

    Weighted differently, look at the pens themselves. To be frank Steve it’s in the photograph. I’m not disagreeing with you on the basis of a...

    I stand happily corrected. LMS isn’t my area of research (yet!)

    Hi Steve. I have the full dynamometer roll in front of me and assuredly it’s designed in. Not to undermine your view but there’s a clear...
