True enough, Lynn, but our entire job
in this listserv sometimes seems to be
second-guessing the manufacturers
and telling them what they did wrong. <g>
Jawed had expressed an opinion on which
of two schemes might work better. I
simply wanted to point out that, for
better or for worse, most film scanners
worked the other way.
My personal guess is that the better
way is the one that moves the smaller
mass -- all else being equal.
