[O.B.Left]

Yes, My good neighbor.

I did not see any explicit Ref. to TSP only implicit Ref to "more upright" plane. And I do see explicit Ref. to Elbow Plane with an implicit range of "compensations" to accommodate an EP as it is established off the "more upright" planes.
I cannot remember where Homer Kelley stated a preference for a component variation beyond the geometry for its accommodation.
But I could have missed it so if anyone has a specific Ref. I would appreciate seeing it.

I do see 7-23 par. 3 as significant alignment discussion.

The Bear

I think the zeroed #3 angle implies Left Shoulder Plane......zero shift , no #3 accumulator..............no roll power as theres no clubhead travel. Thats the thing that strikes me as ungolf like , why swing a driver with the grip running through the life line? Double Barrel? Is that it? Underpowered but simple and effective maybe to Homer's mind back then. Im not familiar with his early editions and the double barrel pattern or patterns.

Whereas in 12-2 in my 6th edition, he specifies .....Strong Single Action grip, Triple Barrel (2/3/4) , Turned Shoulder Plane and Zero Shift. A different animal all together. One that requires a Low TSP/high Elbow combo plane as I read it/define it anyways. How you define things makes a big difference here too.......Can an elbow plane be a TSP at the same time for instance? Is there a range of Elbow Plane Angles? Im using the "range of angles" definition for both TSP and Elbow Planes so they can meet up. Like in the photo accompanying the TSP 10-6-B #1.


Glad you brought this up.
