But a certain degree of elasticity is helpful in that application to absorb some of the cyclic loads. (as long as the crank acyclism is kept within bounds to avoid destructive resonances.) -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
