Title: Box Dimensions?
Post by: Charles Collins on February 07, 2023, 05:45:42 PM
I have some preliminary (eyeballed) estimated dimensions of the boxes in the sniper’s nest:

Box #1 (seat box on floor): 17” W, 14” D, 13” H.

Box #2 (on floor below the window): 14” W, 11.5” D, 17” H.

Box #3 (on top of box #2): 13.625” W, 7.5” D, 9” H.

Box #4 (leaning on windowsill) 13.625” W, 9” D, 7.5” H
.


If you know of any box dimensions which you believe are reasonably accurate estimates or measurements, please post them here. Thanks in advance.


Edit: here are some revised (estimated) dimensions:

Box “A” - (CE 641 and CE 1306): 13.75”w x 9”d x 8.25”h

Box “B” - (CE 653 and CE 1308): 13.75”w x 9”d x 8.25”h

Box “C” - (CE 654 and CE 1309): 18”w x 11.625”d x 13.75”h

Box “D” - (CE 648 and CE 1307): 18”w x 11.75”d x 13”h

Yes, I believe you are correct. It seems reasonable because I think that the contents of the boxes would have been considered irreverent irrelevant as evidence.

True, but it undercuts the CTer explanation for his prints being on these boxes for a work-related purpose.  As an order filler, he wouldn't have any cause to be handling unopened boxes in the ordinary course of his employment.  He obviously hadn't filled any orders from an unopened box.  I wonder what they did with wooden blocks that were in these boxes?  Quite a collector's item.

Also, there is the clipboard that was found on the sixth floor with several orders that, apparently, he should have been filling.

Right, because an order filler would never need to do something weird like move boxes to get to other boxes.

Out of the four boxes there were only two boxes which, in addition to unidentified prints, had Oswald's prints on them (2 fingerprints and a palmprint, iirc).

The prints they found on the other two boxes did not belong to Oswald.

Yet somehow, Oswald carried all four boxes into the sniper's nest, or so they claim..... Go figure

Again, no matter how hard you guys try, and no matter how much trust you ask us to place in DPD & Co., none of this will ever put Mr. Oswald at the SN window at 12:30 firing at the motorcade. The very, very, very best you could ever hope to get would be Mr. Oswald handling a couple of boxes found in the SN-----------------a scenario logically consistent with
*Mr. Oswald as LN shooter
*Mr. Oswald as accomplice
*Mr. Oswald as framed patsy
*Mr. Oswald as unlucky order filler

Every time you guys pivot to this as some sort of clincher, you just reveal your deep anguish at your inability (after six decades!) to convincingly put Mr. Oswald at the SN window at 12:30 firing at the motorcade......................

It is an amazingly simple but damning piece of evidence that clearly places LHO in the SN. One for which there is really no explanation other than LHO personally placed the boxes there to be used as a rifle rest.  Doing his job, what a joke. Since when did LHO's job description include building a rifle rest for assassination of the president.

Of course, Oswald's prints on the SN boxes are not the only evidence.  His prints are also on a long bag next to the window.  Fired shell casings from a rifle belonging to him are by the window from which witnesses confirm the shots were fired.  And, oh yeah, his rifle was left on the floor.    He fled the scene and murdered a police officer.  Oswald lied to the DPD about his ownership of the rifle and many other things.  But us gullible types are just accepting the "official" story.  Cue sinister music.

LHO was not involved in laying the floor and moving the boxes. Using the boxes for a rifle rest was totally his idea. Additionally, the boxes were unopened, he had no reason to be handling them. The viability of the prints was a maximum of 24 hours.

LHO is the only person whose fingerprints are on every piece of evidence. Guilty and executed. Ruby saved a lot of effort and expense with a 5 cent bullet.

Well, let's see....

You blindly accept that there was indeed "a long bag next to the window", just because a cop said so.

You blindly accept that the rifle found at the TSBD was "his rifle" despite the fact that it doesn't match the description of the rifle Oswald allegedly ordered.

Yeah, I'd say that's pretty gullible.

So far, after considerable study and a lot of helpful advice (thanks), I have come up with some revised dimensions. These estimates are just that (estimates) because it would take someone actually measuring the boxes at the national archives to obtain accurate measurements. So, here are the estimates:

Box “A” - (CE 641 and CE 1306): 13”w x 9”d x 8.5”h

Box “B” - (CE 653 and CE 1308): 13”w x 9”d x 8.5”h

Box “C” - (CE 654 and CE 1309): 17”w x 11.5”d x 14”h

Box “D” - (CE 648 and CE 1307): 17.5”w x 11.75”d x 13”h

I have revised the first post in this thread to reflect the changes…

Other than a time machine it is difficult to understand how there could be any more evidence of the fact.  What do you believe is lacking?  The shots were fired from the 6th floor window at 12:30.  Fired bullet casings from a rifle belonging to Oswald were found by that window.  Oswald's prints are on the SN boxes.  His prints are on a long bag found near that window.  His rifle is left on that floor.  He has no credible alibi, flees the building within minutes, kills a police officer and lies to the police about the rifle and many other things.  It is a drumbeat of guilt.  Criminals take measures to avoid detection while committing the act.  Not every crime is captured on film.  That does not create any doubt, however, when a mountain of evidence is left at the scene.  Guilty.

I'm not sure that I understand your logic.  Fired bullet casings from OSWALD'S rifle were found by the window from which the shots were fired.  OSWALD'S prints were on the SN boxes used as a gun platform (no other TSBD employee left prints on those boxes).  OSWALD'S rifle was left as the scene of the shooting.  OSWALD had no credible alibi, he fled the scene, and murdered a police officer.  But you still think that even if all that is accurate, that it still doesn't link him to the crime?  Unreal.

This is like teaching Danish grammar to a donkey.

If an assassination conspiracy wished to frame Mr. OSWALD and ONLY Mr. Oswald, would they
a) not leave behind any evidence incriminating to Mr. OSWALD and ONLY Mr. Oswald?
b) leave behind some evidence incriminating to Mr. OSWALD and ONLY Mr. Oswald?

HA HA HA.  The contrarians can't even believe this defense attorney nonsense.

Poor "Richard".  He actually thinks this "bad luck" (as he puts it) is evidence of murder.  HA HA HA.

Other than a time machine it is difficult to understand how there could be any more evidence of the fact.  What do you believe is lacking?  The shots were fired from the 6th floor window at 12:30.  Fired bullet casings from a rifle belonging to Oswald were found by that window.  Oswald's prints are on the SN boxes.  His prints are on a long bag found near that window.  His rifle is left on that floor.  He has no credible alibi, flees the building within minutes, kills a police officer and lies to the police about the rifle and many other things.  It is a drumbeat of guilt.  Criminals take measures to avoid detection while committing the act.  Not every crime is captured on film.  That does not create any doubt, however, when a mountain of evidence is left at the scene.  Guilty.

"rifle belonging to Oswald" . LOL.
"long bag found near that window". LOL.
"flees the building". LOL.
"kills a police officer". LOL.
"lies to the police". LOL.
"guilt". LOL.
"mountain of evidence". LOL.

For me, what seals Oswald's guilt is his extreme luck in not being seen by a single witness who could positively identify him as the man at the window. Sociopathic killers often have this demonic ability to screw with decent folks' cognitive response. Guilty!

This is like teaching Danish grammar to a donkey.

If an assassination conspiracy wished to frame Mr. OSWALD and ONLY Mr. Oswald, would they
a) not leave behind any evidence incriminating to Mr. OSWALD and ONLY Mr. Oswald?
b) leave behind some evidence incriminating to Mr. OSWALD and ONLY Mr. Oswald?

You are mixing up two different groups of people  ::)

Wow.  Your cognitive "reasoning" is something to behold.  This is complete gibberish.

Try to do some actual thinking for a change, Mr. Smith!  Thumb1:

Maybe "seagulls" framed Oswald?  Right?  They are apparently industrious birds according to Martin from "Europe."

Imagination running wild?

Try to keep up.... It was the Chinese who flew a balloon over the TSBD.   Thumb1:

Regarding the sky over Texas, Jack White and Jim Marrs thought contrails were distributing chemicals. White also thought the moon landings were fake. Marrs thought Kennedy was killed to conceal him revealing the existence of an alien moon base on the far side of the moon. I just watched Jim Marrs being mentioned in the "Shadowlands" documentary (Atlantic Monthly) as an early proponent of conspiracy claims the would lead to Q-Anon.

So far, after more considerable study and a lot more helpful advice (thanks), I have come up with some revised dimensions. These estimates are just that (estimates) because it would take someone actually measuring the boxes at the national archives to obtain accurate measurements. So, here are the estimates:

Box “A” - (CE 641 and CE 1306): 13”w x 9”d x 8.5”h (still being studied)

Box “B” - (CE 653 and CE 1308): 13”w x 9”d x 8.5”h (still being studied)

Box “C” - (CE 654 and CE 1309): 18”w x 11.625”d x 13.75”h

Box “D” - (CE 648 and CE 1307): 18”w x 11.75”d x 13”h

I have revised the first post in this thread to reflect the changes…
