Hi Mike,

Excellent work!  As always I extend my heart felt thanks and gratitude!

RE: step 5, can you post the simulated Foucault knife edge data?  (zone
radius and longitudinal value for the two runs)  If I stay on the Foucault
side of things I hope I can keep up with you ;)

Thanks Again!

James
