   Mike, you are missing something important, send an `a' then send a `.' with
your single lever, I use the SAME motion and effort for both with my double
lever, do you see any difference?  The characters a, c, k, n, r, and + (/ar)
(possibly more, it is late) are all the identical motions iambicly,
are they with a single lever?  Do you see that the iambic keyer is doing a lot
of the work for us?
   When I rag chew I never send a /bt, I send a period to end sentences,
or thoughts.  Why not, it fits and it is as easy to send as the letter A.
   Do you see why?
