My name is Jerry Romito. I am brand new to this forum, but I worked at W&S in engineering for 21 years from 1968-1989. About half of that time was at the Research Center, starting under Joe Volk, and the rest at TMD, again under Joe Volk until he left W&S, and then as VP of Engineering.
Some time ago Jack Ubersax listed here reasons for the slant bed, which caught my eye, since I collaborated with Joe Volk to write that article in 1971, originally to help Russ Hill in a competitive battle. It was actually quite easy to write, since the brilliant W&S design work was already done, and all we had to do was explain it. Reading Jack's posting was quite a thrill for me, to see the article after all these years and realize that is was still of interest.
