Hi,

thanks for the reply.  I have a filter arriving this weekend, so, all being
well, I should be able to start seeing very low level tilts instead of just
noise.

I was hoping that someone could put a figure on the magnitude of tilt generated
by a quake on the other side of the world.  Perhaps I will have the answer in a
few days from my system!

Can you remember roughly when the email discussion took place about tilt
meters?  I can search the appropriate file of the psn archives.

Thanks

Ian Smith
