I presume the scope is offset to allow for operation of the bolt? Looks like the iron sights can still be used?

They just plain forgot...yet another easy mistake to make...😂

Was Marina's English reading & understanding good enough at this time for her to be able to navigate her way through all these postal forms?

Wow, really? Is that all true?

What type/colour jacket is he wearing in that pic?

I can't help thinking the way "Lee Oswald" is written on the envelope looks to me like it's been done by someone trying to copy Oswald's handwriting...it just looks too deliberate, neat and doesn't give me the impression that it's naturally spontaneous or "free-flowing"...doesn't quite have the same "lean" to the writing either...very precise on the line...

Didn't Frazier testify that the aiming was high & to the right? The all look low and to the left?

Maybe draw a line on the pic?

What would be good, I think is if, say, a movie producer with the resources available, to commission a mannequin to JFK's height and build etc., mark the mannequin with the (supposed) positions of the bullet entry & exit wounds and, assuming (as we seem to be doing) that the bullet passed through JFK in a straight line, drill a hole through the mannequin at the marked points. The mannequin can then be used to correctly represent what CE903 is purportedly representing and see how that looks. No need to impale any living (or deceased) people David (I'm not sure why you're so obsessed with impaling people?). Just a matter of finding such a person with the resources who is interested enough in the truth, I guess.

Seems like he thinks the HSCA doctors were!!!😁

That's why I suggested a mannequin be used!?!?... CE903 does not depict the true bullet path (as you have conceded) and would require more than "...a few millimetres..." of movement to match the true bullet path - or the WC interpretation of the true bullet path, I should say.

Bowley said he picked his daughter up from the R. L. Thornton school at 12:55. A quick look on Google maps, using a car, shows that the journey time is pretty much 15 minutes.

CE903 Shows the path of the bullet above the right shoulder of JFK. A mannequin should have been used with holes in the bullet hole locations and the rod passed through those holes. CE903 does not show the true path of the bullet.

How reliable was the dictabelt? Did it always start/stop reliably based on signals? There's a "Long pause of about 15 seconds" noted in a transcript - what's that? Some more information: The Dallas Police Department's Channel 1 Dictabelts: The Chain of Possession (jfk-assassination.net)

Would still be good to know what type of clock was being used in the dispatcher's room - analogue or digital. If digital, then the time stamps could always be 59 seconds out either way just on that clock, if analogue, it may be worse as it is likely to be less accurate, the times could me estimations by the reader and, depending on the clock location relative to the person reading it, parallax error could also be introduced.

Strange, I just clicked on the link & it worked and I don't subscribe...

Duplicate as I thought this hadn't worked!

Bumped for current interest... https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2018/docid-32265274.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjh24nc2or5AhXJiVwKHezEAz44ChAWegQIGRAB&usg=AOvVaw3BxOrGzQsnG_ljtOW15F7a

9Emphais mine) What did LHO reportedly say he took to work on the morning of the 22nd?

Thanks Gil...very interesting read...

Nice work Gil. It seems to me that there are 2 people who can very closely pinpoint the time – Helen Markham (HM) and T. F. Bowley (TFB)… HM had a routine whereby she would leave her home around 1:00 to make the short walk of “…6 or 7 minutes…” to the bus-stop to catch her bus. She said the bus time was 1:15. We know the bus time was actually 1:12. Taking into account that, if the bus were to arrive early, it should stop and wait until the allotted time to leave to ensure that any people catching that particular bus would do so as long as they were at the stop at 1:12. But let’s say the 1:12 would normally arrive sometime between 1:12-1:15, hence HM referring to the bus time as 1:15 – also, 1:15 is closer to 1:12 than it is to 1:22; if she usually caught the 1:22, I would probably expect her to say the bus time was 1:25. Therefore, I suspect that she arrived at the bus-stop sometime between 1:07-1:09 in plenty of time to catch the 1:12 bus. TFB worked as an “Installation Manager” for Western Electricity – sounds like he’s a pretty professional guy and it’s possibly the kind of job that required good timekeeping. He certainly seemed to be precise about times – he states he collected his daughter from school at 12:55 – not “around or approximately or a few minutes before/after 1:00” and, when he arrived at the Tippit scene and checked his watch, it read 1:10 – again, not “around or approximately or a few minutes before/after 1:00”. Also, his precision about the time makes me believe that he was a person who liked, maybe demanded, punctuality both in himself and others, in which case I would expect that he probably regularly checked his watch to ensure it was reading the correct time. Do we know what type of clock was used in the DPD dispatcher’s office? Analogue or digital?

I suppose the hospital clock and/or doctor's watch could have been wrong by "...5 or 6 minutes..." 😁
