   I will be down next Tuesday to discuss the "Titus" joint concept, but a
couple of comments on how it was interpreted. I didn't intend to divide each
"loop" into three separate conductors. I want to bundle them as they are in
the outer leg to improve access to the jacking ring/connection to the
central column and to improve the out of plane strength of the loop so that
maybe it doesn't need the paddle support to the umbrella structure cover. It
means slight skew connection to the central column. But I think that is
qualifiable with the jacking ring. - which needs to be added to the sketch,
and detailed. The jacking ring may be complex, especially if it needs to be
toroidally broken, so these details will be important to show so that the
complexity of the four joints will be similarly represented.
