For those living in the Southern Hemisphere it looks like this.

Interesting. Would you say this was a two dimensional model?

Frank LoPresti · Post by **Frank LoPresti** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 12:56 pm

On paper ? I think so yes.

So how do they apply to three dimensional casting? Do you have a funky diagram for your take on casting from the vertical perspective? Take the oval cast for example.

Incidentally when does Drag end and the Casting Stroke begin for your model? Cheers Paul

Well with the exception of space/time or the 4th dimension everything we do is done in 3 dimensions. 3 dimensional casting ? As opposed to what ? For me, when does drag end and the CS begin ? I'd have to take a stab at that one and suggest that it begins when pure translation ends and becomes rotation.

Interesting. So when does Creep end? And what's the third dimentional rod motion that changes casting plane for you?

Still no Translational creep?

It ends when it ends. Could be 3 degrees could be 10 degrees could be 15 degrees. Beats me. As to the last bit any rod motion that takes the rod out of a 180 plane.

I'm afraid that that's not happening Rich as those two terms are mutually exclusive, not inclusive of the graphic. Doesn't seem to bring anything of significance to the table either. Unless that is you'd like to suggest how it might

Yes but how do you know when it ends? Seems pretty precise if you can measure 3 degrees of it.

Frank LoPresti · Post by **Frank LoPresti** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 9:05 pm

Why would you want to know when it ended ? The only thing you know for certain is that if you have not rapidly rotated the rod at the start of the stroke, you've simply managed to rotate the rod butt very slowly, with insignificant, negligible, or very little rotational force. I could care less when it ended, only that it began at the start of the stroke, not the end. You start back at the beginning of the stroke to fix creep, not in the middle or end of it.

Thought not......

If you dont know when it ends then how have you managed to measure 3 or 10 degrees of it?

Frank, I was dealing with issue of your not understanding how increasing stroke length is a method for overcoming tailing loops. I wondered if you'd worked it out yet.

Use the 6 step method, work down and then back up.
