Hi Chris and Charles,

Many thanks for the references.

Hmmm....the Ace Hardware triangle looks quite cheaply "available" so too
speak for the U.S.A. participants...great!
Am not sure it could be useful on Chris's Lehman end of boom placement flat
surface recommendation, unless its perhaps placement offset to begin
with thereon?  On the other hand, the hole could be used as a
rough/temporary placement holding "ball lock position" now and then for both
a Lehman and a simple pendulum dual ball S-G.

The Ace Hardware rectangular carbide strips "look" inviting for a possible
test S-G spaced dual ball setup surface.

I note Ace Hardware now also carrys the magically effective Devcon Plastic
Welder two part glue; and additionally
a new (untested) steel/ceramic glue too.  The plastic welder stuff seems to
hold about everything excellent...including ruby balls to
a metal surface....let alone a variety of home repairs I've done.  Its way
far better than the average American "junkque" glues.

Take care, Meredith
