[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9774268, member: 76316"]Thank you! As closely as I can measure, the diameter is very near ten inches...but given your comment about windage requirements, it's worth trying to get a more accurate diameter, checked in several places. It's wet out there now, an' will be, off an' on, for the next week or so. If, on the other hand, it is exactly, or slightly over, 10 inches...what would it have been made for? Everyone I've shown it to here is, like me, completely without a reasonably sound idea about its purpose otherwise. A very informative link, an' thanks for that![/QUOTE]
