Thanks for the reply Kevin,
      your comment in brackets surprised me though. I thought US gradients 
were
      normally measured as (X) percent, as in 1 foot rise in 100 feet equals 
1%.
      Is it the "change in gradient" measured in degrees? and if so, what is 

      "normal" figure?
      Greg.P.
