upper shoud length when you cut the spreaders



Carlos
The length of the shroud can be determined by measuring the distance from the spreader to the upper terminus, and the spreader length. The square of the speader length plus the square of the distance from the spreader to the top is equal to the square of the shroud from the spreader tip to the end of the shroud. I would figure it for you in the morning , but it is late now. This will give you the difference in shroud length. Gene



Use the Pythagorean Theorem to get the shortened shroud distance (above the spreader): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

Right triangle - in Gene's message above.

Calculate the square root
