Greetings,

I just got back from EAC 2006 in West Palm Beach...had a great time!
More on the convention in a later message, as I am still recovering
from
the drive.

I am gathering opinions and facts concerning error descriptions. How
do
you describe the orientation of an off-center strike error? Is the
centered clock direction of the struck portion usually indicated? Or
do
you use degrees?

Appreciate your thoughts and references.

Measure the % off centre, half off the flan would be 50%. Billy


That definitely seems to be the accepted way to describe amount of
off-centering. How would you describe the direction of the
off-centering?

Buck


I've never seen the direction mention in the UK.

What difference would it make? Billy

Depending on the direction, a date does or does not show. Isn't that
correct for anything over 40% oc? Just a thought.

I can see how the date showing or not may affect the value but giving the %
and direction would still make it difficult to work out if the date shows or
not.

Giving the % only and a mention if the date shows would be easier. Billy
