Kim>>Yes, I knew that you drew the lines with a ruler, I was just
wondering if the lines are drawn backwards to the edge of the page.
To see how many would converge at one point.<<
Yes I do this on occasions when I suspect a possible new radiant. I usually

Kim>>Ok, thanks George, I will take a look. I would presume by 42 km/s
that it would be med fast.<<
Saying that they are medium fast is a fair description.
