Here we go again. Why is it your video sync doesn't continue on, showing Jackie layed out on a moving vehicle with her elbow planted into the trunk lid, retracting backwards and seated in 6 Zframes = less than 1/3 second? Which conveniently, is where the Nix film ends. In stopwatch terms, that's saying the words "stop/go" with no delay in between words. Anyone can try it and find out for themselves how quick 1/3 second is. Your "why would frames need removing" redundant question begs for speculative answers of which there are many. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CFdpSs8Bt4f-GVJOCOl2wDXdpu-uNjQX/view

David, My point was any slumping and a headshot is not possible from the overpass or the south knoll (previous photo position provided). More south I'm fine with. Agreed, he never slumped 13.54 inches. The 13.54 inch span is part of the 10 inch BS drop scenario. 3.54 vertical inches converted into Elm St slope = 3.54"/12" = .295 x 18.3ft = 5.4ft =(13.44mph plotted limo speed z161-z166) - .9ft (BS limo advanced) for z161-z166 = 4.5ft = two postings back.

The path switch accommodating the two shots. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EF7C1mbbwXwwWzHukcCWrMzngj9u_BEx/view?usp=sharing

The location for Z313 among two different plats (Drommer 1978 HSCA and WC final May 1964). The pedestals aligned. Pretty much straight lined to the Z313 street location. In fact, the street plottings form a straight line also. More modern technology? yes. Bad surveying? no. In other words, two different locations meant to represent one spot. Scale 1inch = 10ft Distance between 4.5ft. Tom Wilson says 4ft farther down.

Sitting straight up within the limo, JFK's head height was measured at 52.78 inches. At z313, it was 39.24inches. A difference of 13.54ft. If the gentleman in the photo slumps down slightly, we begin to lose the top of his head.

If you extend my shooter location LOS through Sherry Fiester's graphic at z313, a face to face (lack of better term) crossfire occurs. It's just farther South which creates a lateral angle to JFK instead of an overhead. Remember, if the film is representative of his head height at z313 (3.27ft above ground-head faced downward), an over the top shot from the south knoll is impossible because of the convertible top support frame. The farther south (lateral) the better, until Jackie starts impeding the shooters LOS.

Ron, Listen to what Tom Wilson says about 4 feet farther down the road. A very important point. Imo https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T_L-ofjszZmZnMK9raiElwQfYA9YjZqx/view His ultimate conclusion was the front entry-rear exit shot came from the street level sewer on Elm St.

Something like this for any of the head shots. If so, is the recreation head (disregard Jackie's position) in the correct orientation for a North Knoll head shot? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LL8rZt-t3rjOGaNiLJvN2I828RHadMYa/view?usp=sharing

I believe this is from part1: It appears it was run once at 4x normal speed. One viewing, unless I'm misinterpreting this. 16mm@ normal speed is usually: 24fps or did they have the ability to drop the play speed down to 16x4 =64fps or 18x4 = 72fps, irregardless. How can a film run at 96fps and everyone describe such detail within the film. Try running a slow motion film through at 96fps and tell me how it looks. If you run 48/18.3 = 2.622x per second more frames at 4x the speed, the viewing experience would be much more pleasurable. imo Clarifications please.

btw, This might be a little closer in terms of JFK's head position at Z312. Not a lot of footage available from this angle. At least from what I've found with Nellie turned 90 degrees clockwise. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wBURGPKHRQGA9VpeUhLic6LRe2OEYgnS/view?usp=sharing

Thanks David, What I need is a frontal location specified, that you believe works. The sewer drain down at street level on Elm St works, but, only if JFK within the limo is down near Station# 4+96 as has been previously plotted.

Cory, Not quite sure of the location you are describing. If you can't post a graphic, can you be more specific. i.e. above the H in Hertz or below the Y in Depository, etc etc

Rick, More than one shot. Two at 1/3 of a second apart, using extant films.

X = shooters position The two trees in which the station wagon is between = approx 35ft span. The station wagon rear is approx 18ft from the shooters location. The truck cab is approx 60ft from the shooters location. Malcolm Summers was the diving man. I referred to him a few posts back. Fine tuning distances.

Scale: 1inch = 10ft X = shooters position Station wagon rear approx 9ft away. Truck cab approx 26 ft away. Sorry, need to revamp that.

If that is a person they would have approx 9 seconds to get to my shooters location.

David, Taken into consideration. If someone shot him from the storm drain out front, do you believe the Harper fragment would have propelled backwards along the lines of the bullet trajectory?

Start at about the one minute mark if you don't want to watch the whole segment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmFdfvDT6GQ The frame below shows where Harper stops and gestures. Look at what's in the background.

Station Wagon near by.

Quite possibly encountered this guy: Appears to be near the shooters location.

Aerial Frame

Ron, Next time I'll name it "Anyplace but the 6th floor window". This is some of Fiester's work. I've added my LOS (thin red lines) to it.

David, The opening is behind between umbrella man and the Stemmons sign. McKinnon(I believe) is leaning against the lamp-post which opens that up along the same LOS.
