, based on my CAD evidence is impossible to see.
I cutted in CAD straight through Dealey Plaza from the Nix location to the point where the black dot is positioned and
extended the cut to the parking lot until the angle meets a wheel in sight (the upper part of a wheel).
All that based on the Drommer&Associates Survey Map for the HSCA from 1978.
Let's take a look in into the parking lot in 1963/64, the Warren Commission Exhibit 2118.
We can see here the possibilities of how a car can taken place.
Following the angle from Nix's position through the black dot (head) you can see in the last image where this
car can had positioned at last place before the rails didn't allow a parking anymore.
This is a distance of 45-50 yards maximum.
That distance did not allow a wheel to be in sight from the Nix position.
It's all a question of geometry and angles.
Nix lense height have to be 10-11 feet high to make that possible.
The fence was 5 feet high.....yes also in 1963. Take a look at the photographs.
Give it some inches +/-. That does not make the difference.
The only possibilty a car wheel from Nix position can have be in sight is some 105 yards behind the fence
based on Nix's height of 6 feet. This is way beyond of any possibilty. Given the scale of a car and also terrain/geography situation there.
Back to the Nix film /frames.
I'am sure everybody knows Elm street has a downward slope of 3-3.25° towards the mouth of the underpass also at the embankment.
The Nix film gives the impression Elm has an upwards slope.
That depends on the tilting and how Nix had hold the camera.
Here one Nix frame and how it would look if the camera would be holded straight.
The tilt of Nix camera can lead to missinterpretations.
About the photograph from Chris Davidson.
Yes Rick, it was slightly too much west located and also the film and therefore a bit too down because Main makes also a downward slope.
But thank you Chris!!
I appreciate it really much when people coming forward and doing some own made, intending constructive research instead of
always debunking trying statements.
At last here a photograph not from the Nix location, but from a similar height position.
It should give a good impression how the parking lot and cars would look like from that location.
Yes, yesterday was a rainy day in Dallas, Gary. I've seen that on the Plaza webcam.
I hope you do it at some point when the weather and the cars there allows it.
Thank you for your efforts.
