Jeez, this is where Chas. and I left it last night -- the length of a radius and the arc of the circle. Three inches of lift on the end of a four foot driveshaft is going to have a significantly smaller angle than three inches on a foot long driveshaft. Tell TB to get a broomstick and a ruler and he can prove it to himself.
