You're suggesting...I can deduce the weight of an object by looking at crude (2D) pictures of said object? Well, I'm just a simple country boy, so I'd want to just use a scale.

The news paper reporter was confused.
Huh?
That's what Tim said also. You're not going LN on me, are you now, Walt?
In any case; here's what the article starts with;
"A Texas highway patrolman who guarded then Gov John Connally's room at Parkland Hospital has told the Dallas Morning News he recalls turning over to an FBI agent more than three bullet fragments purportedly removed from Connally the day President John Kennedy was assassinated."
Later in the article it says: "Harbison was interviewed by the News SaPersonay"
The reporter, I have since learned, was Earl Golz
In a ARRB Memo from Joe Freeman to Jeremy Gunn dated April 26, 1996
http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/ARRB/JFREEMAN/WP-DOCS/041996.WPD.pdf
its says on page 14;
4/11/77 HSCA staffer Kevin Walsh writes a memo referencing a call from Dallas reporter Earl Golz in which Golz says that a Texas State Trooper named Charles W. Harbison had come forward with the following information: Harbison claimed to have been at Parkland several days after the assassination, as Governor Connally was being moved out of the Intensive Care Unit; Harbison claimed that one of Connally’s doctors handed Harbison three or more bullet fragments which were explained to Harbison as having been removed from Connally. Harbison told Golz he turned the fragments over to an FBI agent whose name he could not recall. Apparently, Golz wrote about this claim in an article for the Dallas Morning News in or near the 1st of April, 1977. Golz told Walsh that he (Golz) had put Harbison in touch with Audrey Bell and that Harbison believes the fragments he handled were different from the ones Bell was involved with.
No other information or corroboration has been found regarding this claim; nor has the news article been located as of this writing.
Could it be you were just confused, Walt?

I'm just a simple country boy myself. If I know the approximate width and height of an object and I know what the object is made of then I can deduce the approximate weight of that object. The density of lead is about 11.35 g/cc. Dr. Gregory, in looking at the X-Rays of the thigh, said that the fragment in it was about 5 tenths of a millimeter by 2 millimeters. At those dimensions, the lead fragment would weigh 17.83 milligrams. One grain is equivalent to 64.8 milligrams. So, that fragment weighed about 1/4 of a grain.
After converting mm to cm:
.05 x 0.7854 x (0.2^2) = 0.0015708cc
0.0015708cc x 11.35g/cc = 0.017828
0.017828 x 1000 = 17.83 milligrams

Speaking of pictures.... I know that you're very good at finding and posting pictures.....Soooo Would you please find the evidence photo of the evidence that was released to the FBI at midnight 11/22/63. It sows the envelope that contains the fragments that were removed from Connally.....The blanket, the unstained paper bag ( Which means the photo was taken before the FBI examined the paper bag) the pistol, and several other items of evidence.
Thank you.
