  1. A few posts back, I mentioned how there were a few pieces to getting us the CE560 (.56ft) bullet lead height input.

    We already have .425ft of it.

    Now that we realize a 1 to 1 ratio is in play, we can apply that to Frazier's entry of "bullet time to impact" (.085 sec) and "limo distance traveled" (1.4ft????)

    1 zframe = .0546sec = .0546 vert ft.

    Frazier's .085sec / .0546 = 1.5567 zframes and 1.5567 horiz ft traveled.

    Frazier's .085 sec = .085 vert elev

     

     

     

     

  2. If you look at these two entries in the z207 decipher link:

    3.27FT/60MIN = .0545 vert ft. per min

    1ft vertical/18.3ft horizontal (ElmSt slope) = .0546vertical ft /1ft horizontal

    There is one more entry needed to connect the common ratio among them:

    1frame/18.3frames = .0546 seconds per frame

    Slick how that works.

    P.S.  3.276/60 = .0546 exactly

  3. Use this link to help decipher survey z207:

    The 3.27ft vertical elevation used in CE884 for JFK's height converts to 1deg.

    There was a 1.13deg difference between POSITION A and Station 250.0

    Converting that difference (in terms of elevation) :

    3.27 x 1.13 = 3.695ft

    3.695ft - 3.27ft = .425ft difference

    If this answer sounds familiar, it should:

    The span of 28.5ft (distance from POSITION A to Station# 250.0) with an elevation change of 1ft equals a 2 degree slope.

    This will help(mathematically) in the exacting of the listed .56ft lead bullet height on CE560.

    The three common entries used to complete the feat:

    3.27ft

    3.13degrees 

    10.2ft

    The more exact distance would be 10.2351ft

    10.2351/3.27 = 3.13

     

     

     

     

  5. The difference in elevation between POSITION A and elevation 429.7 = 1ft

    The actual elevation difference should = 1.557ft.

    That is an elevation WORKING difference of .557ft

    Where does that difference appear.

    Right back to CE560 (upper red box) in the form of the "lead bullet height" listed at .56ft

    In a little while, I'll show you how that becomes exactly .56ft using cumulative WC adjustments.

  6. If you haven't figured this out by now, the elevation drop of 28.5ft (from POSITION A to Station# 250.0) should =

    28.5/18.3 (3.13degree slope) = 1.557...ft

    The distance difference between 28.5/18.3ft is 10.2ft

    Robert West indicates this 3.13deg slope extending to Station# 250.0 on the FBI/SS combo plat of Dec63/Feb64.26611329298_37a816be84_b.jpg

    He also entered it on the WC final plat of May1964:

    3deg8min = 3.13degrees

    Where was the 30.86ft split applied to the Position A part of the ballfield:

    Sprague designates JFK@ z133 to Station # 299.0, which is where I plotted him also.

    I believe we were a slight bit off and JFK actually plots at 299.16 or 1.92 inches difference.

    299.16 - 30.86ft = Station 268.3

    Station# 268.3 + 10.2ft = Station # 278.5

    Position A = Station# 278.5

    This can be determined by using the WC data readily available:

    z161 = 329.2 - 94.7 = Station C = 234.5

    234.5 + 44 = 278.5 = Position A

    The WC math-ical mystery tour.

    P.S. Position A is not plotted on Robert West's path.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Moving backwards some more:

    299.16 - 30.86 = 268.3

    268.3 - 18.3 (1ft vertical@3.13deg slope) = Station# 250.0 = TSBD Snipers nest parallel street Elevation.

    I believe the scenario plays out this way:

    3.356ft x 12" = 40.272inches

    40.272" - 1.5inches = 38.772inches

    38.772inches - 5.04inches = 33.732inches

    33.732inches + 14cm(5.51inches) = 39.242inches = 3.27ft

     

     

    So it's not lost in all of this:

    5.04inches (Elev correction)

    1.5inches (collar height)

    3.54inch difference

    Who do we suppose put Shaneyfelt, Frasier, Gauthier, Eisenberg, Redlich and the rest to change CE585 and CE884....

     

     

     

    Don't know. But the z207/208 shot removal/remedy was being addressed long before CE560 materialized.

    Within CE560, they are trying to move this shot by attaching the .56ft lead height = 10.2ft horizontal = z217/218 =  Station# 381.3 = shot #1 on FBI/SS plat of DEC63/FEB64.

    While at the same time, showing us that the bullet was fired at approx z207.15 and hit its mark at approx  z208.69

    The 2.3ft distance listed on CE884 is the combination of the average speed of the limo (.9ft per frame) + the distance the limo would have traveled from firing of rifle to hitting target (1.4ft).

    Specifically:

    175/2070 = .0845 / .0546 (1frame/18.3frames) = 1.54frames

    The audio indicates z208.69

    208.69 - (207 + 1.54) = .15frames

    207 + .15 = frame# 207.15 pulled the trigger.

    40.272" - 1.5inches = 38.772inches

    33.732inches + 14cm(5.51inches) = 39.242inches = 3.27ft

     

     

  11. When converted, the difference in elevation from 65.05ft to 64.63ft = .42ft = 5.04 inches.

    3.27ft (39.24inches) - 5.04 inches = 34.2 inches = 2.85ft

    The difference between 3.27 and 2.85ft = .42ft = elevation change difference in extant survey z207.

    West knew they were up to no good. Probably not all the specifics.

    He documented and kept what he could or felt safe with.

     

     

     

    This is how crafty the WC was in obtaining their desired goals:

    Robert West's survey information for extant z207 lists a right triangle of:  base=162.34ft  height=65.05ft  hypotenuse = 174.88ft

    It was determined(don't know by whom- see plat) that 61ft from the TSBD base, along that same extant z207 base measurement, the Elm St. slope of 3.13 degrees began.

    The change in elevation would calculate like this:

    162.34 - 61= 101.34ft / 18.3ft (1ft Vertical change) = 5.53ft vertical change.

    Base to 6th floor window sill = 61.2ft

    Rifle end to Window sill = 1.17ft

    Total elevation above street = 67.9ft

    67.9ft -3.27ft(CE884 -JFK determined back shot elevation) = 64.63ft

    Do you see see the difference in vertical elevation?

    JFK was shot in the back at physical location extant z207/z208.

    So Chris... what becomes apparent to me is the arbitrary location for STATION C...

    As Shaneyfelt puts it, "The spot where the limo would have turned off Houston onto Elm"...  does this suggested it didn't?

    I did this to show that STATION C can lead to either path... despite POSTION A not being on the limo's path and NOT the last place where the mark on the back of the stand-in can be seen... POSITION A is included and critical... z161, which was actually z168 in the final numbering of frames becomes THE spot... but only after May '64... before that it was 168

    and the fabrication/alteration of material fact begins....

    David,

    I tend to treat StationC in sync relationship to the TSBD.

    Two endpoints if you will.

    StationC = Station# 234.5

    TSBD = Station# 250.0

    That is a distance difference of 15.5 ft

    They should have advanced a distance of 15.25ft (10" drop) = 15.25ft

    18.3 /18 = 1.0166.. - Conversion between determined frame rate and whole frames.

    1.01666.. x 15.25 = 15.50ft

    Just as 30.86ft was used as a retard and advance concept (shown previously), why not some form of that here.

    Arbitrarily set. I agree.

    Position A, still working on it.
