Re: no. of stops in pt/pd and gum etc.



Hi Chris,

It is above 3.0.  I'm in Palo Alto doing a workshop, so I don't have access to my tests—I can let you know when I get home in about a week.  I worked with a 41 step tablet (log 4.0) , so do have some data for you.

Good, Mark, that's what I thought...I mean, it can do a 31 step tablet with
enough humidity I thought I heard somewhere, so I was surprised with this
piece of info. But what do you think might be its maximum "stoppage"?

Hi Chris,

PD can go beyond 10 stops.
