I'm biased toward measuring the distance available to a 34.8" WC claim
Meaurements ain't meaningless, Tex..

This is Amos Euins all over again.  You think your interpretation of what they said is some unassailable truth.  Why should anyone care what some six foot guy was able to get to "almost touch the ground" by his standards when Linnie Mae already did an experiment?

There’s still no evidence that rifle was ever disassembled or in a bag.

That's the WC claim and I'm examining if a 34.8" size is feasible..

My standards regarding my 6' height vis à vis Oswald's 5'9" includes subtracting the 3" differential at the moment of truth (so-to-speak). My 35" object at some six foot guy's height leaves 3-4" between said object and ground zero. Subtracting some other guy's 3" height differential leaves said object a good deal closer to be 'almost touching the ground'

Oswald was 5' 9.5" .

Establishing whether-or-not a 34.8"-object can be carried by a 5'9"-sized Oswald and almost touch the ground is my point here.

As I've said previously, Chappers, don't tell us show us. Or can't you afford a photo program? If you can't, as you suggested earlier, pass the hat round your fellow Feluccas.

Try this, Ray:

Fingerprint card dated “11-25-63,” 17 Warren Commission Hearings 308.

According to his autopsy report, he was 5'9". ;)
