FF,
NOBODY uses the Buford scale anymore! Your whole formula is based on
ravings of a deranged scientist with a broken slide rule.


Did I type Buford Scale???
I was supposed to type Burford Scale.
The Buford Scale has to do with wind strength.
Everyone knows that the BURFORD Scale has to do with thread diameters.
Clyde Burford was the husband of none other than the Issac Singer's
oldest daughter. He spent much of his time working with thread and
developed the "Burford Scale".
Sorry for the confusion.
