    No, the measurement I gave of 9" is not the diameter of a circle. Rather it is roughly half the circumference of the circle (laid flat). So the total circumference of the circle would be approximately 18", stretched to the maximum capacity.

    "I see", the blind man said. But, are those SAE inches or metric inches?

    Feel free to take that as a rhetorical question.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    I'm scanning my Bible now for that passage - must be in the book of Jacob - "Jacob was a plain man, dwelling intense", ... or something like that.
