The 39.24 inches in the above equation = 3.27ft = the bs elevation adjustment used for JFK's head above pavement throughout CE884. At z207, per CE884, a change of 3.27ft vertical = a 1 degree angle change. Since Frazier gives us a bs lead height of .56ft at z207 per CE560, this comes to mind: .56ft x 18.3 =.10.248ft horizontal 10.248ft/3.27ft = 3.133 degrees The slope of Elm St was determined to be 3degrees 8minutes per the final WC plat of May 1964, = 3.133.. degrees

btw David, Extant z plotted between z161-z168 = 13.44mph average = 1.08ft per frame Since the plotting of Station# 3+29.2 = z161 and z168 in two separate CE884’s supplied, I think it would be reasonable to look for another area on CE884 where a six/seven frame spread at approx. the same speed would provide a total elevation change result. For instance: Z249-z255 = 6frames with an elevation change of .33ft and 6.4ft traveled = 13.28mph, close to 13.44. .33ft x 12” = 3.96inches Or, just refer back to the previous posting equation of .295ft and add the elev of .05ft from z161-z166 = .345ft = 4.14inches TREASURY DEPARTMENT UNlTED STATES SECRET SERVICE FIELD FORCE Protective Assignment of S/A Bennett on 11122/63 at Dallas, Texas Air Force Two landed at Love Field, Dallas, Texas at 11:35 A.M. Upon deplaning, I covered the fence and press areas. The President's plane arrived at approximately 11 :38 A.M. I stayed with the President and First Lady during the time they greeted the crowd on the apron and along the fence. The greeting lasted for about 10 minutes and the President/First Lady entered their car and the motorcade planned to depart. I asked while moving towards the follow-up car what position I should take, Mr. Roberts informed me that I should take the right rear seat of the follow-up. I took this position and held it during the entire motorcade. I left this rear seat position at one point in the trip to assist in getting well-wishers away from the President's auto. About thirty minutes after leaving Love Field about 12:25 P.M., the Motorcade entered an intersection and then proceeded down a grade. At this point the well-wishers numbered but a few; the motorcade continued down this grade enroute to the Trade Mart. At this point I heard what_sounded like a fire-cracker. I immediately looked from the right/crowd/physical area/and looked towards the President who was seated in the right rear seat of his limousine open convertible. At the moment I looked at the back of the President I heard another fire-cracker noise and saw the shot hit the President about four inches down from the right shoulder. A second shot followed immediately and hit the right rear high of the President's head. I immediately hollered "he's hit'' and reached for the AR-15 located on the floor of the rear seat. Special Agent Hickey had already picked-up the AR-I5. We peered towards the rear and particularly the right side of the area. I had drawn my revolver when I saw S/A Hickey had the AR15. I was unable to see anything or one that could have fired the shots. The President's car immediately kicked into high gear and the follow-up car followed. The President's auto and the follow-up proceeded to the Parkland Hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital's parking lot, I was instructed by ASAIC Roberts to stay with the Vice-President who had followed us into the parking lot. I immediately went to the Vice-President's auto and accompanied him to a room on the ground floor of the hospital. I then continued with the Vice-President back to Washington, D.C. where I was relieved. [signature] Glen A. Bennett Special Agent 11-23-63

For those that would like to see a comparison.

Really, would you care to elaborate on this?

The time it takes for Wiegman panning back to the TSBD after the 313 head shot, until the Hester sync = 21seconds. Bell films Wiegman filming the Hesters. The sync point between Bell and Wiegman is Hester stepping up onto the Colonade. Bell continuously films afterwards for 1.3 seconds and picks up Wiegman starting to rise for his run down the knoll. Gerda’s dual-sync of Couch/Darnell shows both Wiegman and Baker in there respective runs. There is 3.5 seconds of missing footage from the Wiegman sequence. Take those 3.5 seconds and apply that to Wiegman after we see him start to rise in Bell and to Baker before we see him in Gerda’s dual-sync. Baker’s run to the curb equals 4 seconds. This total = approx 30 seconds.

Which path to use? hmmm!!! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwrExtVD005OSUtQNjhDeUxjbUU/view?usp=sharing

52.78"- 39.24"=13.54"-10"= 3.54"/12"= .295ft x 18.3ft = 5.3985ft - .9ft = 4.4985ft / 5 frames = .8997ft per frame x 18.3fps = 16.46451ft per sec / 1.47ft (1mph) = 11.200 mph Mr. SPECTER. Were you able to ascertain the speed of the Presidential limousine at the time of the assassination? Mr. SHANEYFELT. Yes; because we were able to determine the speed of the camera, and thereby accurately determine the length of time it takes for a specific number of frames to run through the camera at this 18.3 frames per second, and having located these frame positions in the street, we took the farthest distance point we had in the Zapruder film which was frame 161 through frame 313. This was found to run elapsed time from the film standpoint which runs at 18.3 frames a second, runs for a total of 8.3 seconds. This distance is 136.1 feet, and this can be calculated then to 11.2 miles per hour. Mr. SPECTER. Is that a constant average speed or does that speed reflect any variations in the movement of the car? Mr. SHANEYFELT. That is the overall average from 161 to 313. It does not mean that it was traveling constantly at 11.2, because it was more than likely going faster in some areas and slightly slower in some areas. It is only an average speed over the entire run. Shaneyfelt uses a different method of determining averages than I do.

Still stepping. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r25/123steamn/207 ballistics.jp

It's always a pleasure to provide supporting documentation from the WC that has them stepping on their collective -------s.

Mr. BALL. You actually saw Truly go Mr. MOLINA. Yeah. Mr. BALL. You were still standing there? Mr. MOLINA. Yes. Mr. BALL. How long was it after you heard the shots? Mr. MOLINA. Oh, I would venture to say maybe 20 or 30 seconds afterwards. Mr. BALL. Had somebody come up and said the President was shot before you saw Truly go in? Mr. MOLINA. No. Mr. BALL - By the time you left the steps had Mr. Truly entered the building? Mr. LOVELADY - As we left the steps I would say we were at least 15. maybe 25. steps away from the building. I looked back and I saw him and the policeman running into the building. Mr. BALL - How many steps? Mr. LOVELADY - Twenty, 25. Mr. BALL - Steps away and you looked back and saw him enter the building? Mr. LOVELADY - Yes. Mr. BALL - Do you have any idea how long it was from the time you heard those three sounds or three noises until you saw Truly and Baker going into the building? Mr. SHELLEY - It would have to be 3 or 4 minutes I would say because this girl that ran back up there was down near where the car was when the President was hit.

The recreation was shot with a 16mm camera (24fps) by Underwood. The two gentlemen on the stairs are approx two seconds apart, so someone starting at the landing, walking down the stairs and someone near the middle step will end up approx where you see them after (86 progressive frames/5.6seconds). How far West would they end up in 15-20 seconds? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwrExtVD005OWlo5Q3FxdDRaU1U/view?usp=sharing

Sandy, Since the yellow dot matches another graphic I have, which is where the Harper fragment is also located, the distance streetwise is approx 90ft. Over to the grass area, add another ? in distance. The Southside "inlet" is a common landmark.

Mark, This is what Tom wrote: Third shot down in front of Altgens. Bullet went through coat collar at edge of colllar, struck at edge of hairline at base of JFK's neck, tunneled through soft flesh of he neck due to the well forward and almost head down position of JFK, struck in the EOP vicinity of the skull, passed through the mid-brain of the skull and exited in the frontal lobe. Then continued forward to strike JBC in the right shoulder as JBC lay across the open area between the jump seats with his body pulled up into the fetal position. The bullet penetrated through JBC's chest, exited the chest, and went on to strike and enter the left inner thigh of JBC.

Bill, Yes, some believe it is Oswald and others don't, based on different criteria.

Yes, I would agree with that.

This is one of the advantages of using stabilized video, as opposed to still frames or photos, if the same time period is covered. The reason I use "lean forward" and not "moving" is, at this point, Lovelady is not on the top landing. I believe those steps don't have enough depth for someone to move forward, if they did, one would be stepping down or up and we would see it in the video. I don't see Lovelady's elevation change in the video compared to the African-American fellow below him. Imo

Yes, Lovelady. The video I provided is from Hughes. The limo is turning the corner from Houston to Elm at that time, same as your single frame. This occurs many seconds before Altgen's 6.

Excellent Research Bart. I inverted a few of the photos. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwrExtVD005OZWdJNE5MWTVFeUk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwrExtVD005OdUN6WF9PSXpZMWc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwrExtVD005Oc0Fmcnoxbjg5a2M/view?usp=sharing

Pennsylvania article date: Oct 13, 2016-see previous graphic Excerpt from Rove article (July 7, 2016): Even where the GOP has been successful in registration, maximizing Republican turnout is not enough to flip states. Take Pennsylvania, where GOP increases and Democratic declines have combined to produce a 216,916 shift toward Republicans since 2012. But Mr. Obama won the state by 309,840: Mr. Trump would need to convince 100,000 more Pennsylvania independents and Democrats to back him while carrying all the voters Mr. Romney won and the newly registered Republicans. http://www.rove.com/article/the-off-stage-battle-to-sign-up-voters

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwrExtVD005OSnpNZlNjbnpYWXc/view?usp=sharing The original is from the DVD “Death In Dealy Plaza” I copied the VOB files directly from the DVD. Computer = Mac I viewed the VOB files using this program “MPEG Streamclip” - QuickTime Pro works just as well, with both programs needing “QuickTimeMPEG2.component” for the viewing process. I snapshot the frame as a PNG. I can also export as PNG’s but not at 200% which is the size of the linked file. The screenshot was captured using a gamma of 1.8 The frame is not cropped my me. This is what is supplied on the DVD. There is no difference in quality (Mac wise) between a snapshot PNG and an exported PNG. (Believe me, I’ve tested this numerous times). I believe the current frame/s being discussed on the forum were snapshot at 100%. The photoshop process for this frame would have been the same as the others, although I believe I also used a "Topaz Labs plugin" contrast filter to try and bring out more detail in the shadows. There are dozens to choose from. Bart Kamp did a good job in his collage trying to match whatever I had previously produced. He marked it "Hairline and Ear". Maybe he remembers his exact method for contrast adjustments, I don't. As far as I could find, this was the closest I could get (generation wise) to some type of documented version. What generation is it? I don't know. The 16mm Wiegman film, more than likely, was supplied by the 6th Floor Museum for the T.V. show. The rest is up to those still interested. Good Luck, chris

This will be the last equation (which includes the streamlined explanation below). I wish everyone continued success in whatever endeavors they may pursue. The ratio of 16FPS - 18.3FPS = .874 The ratio of 2.622(48/18.3)- 3 = .874 cheers, Chris Davidson
