To use these programs simply download and open the file using any standard text editor such as NotePad for Windoze or EDIT for DOS. Read the header comments and follow the directions. Then send it to a PostScript-capable printer or a PostScript previewer such as GSview that comes with Aladdin Ghostscript.
TRANSITION.PS will draw templates to create transition cones from one diameter to another. Sizes can be specified in inches, millimeters, or even part numbers such as BT20. If the template is too large to fit on your printer you will get detailed measurements and instructions to easily draw the template using tools no more sophisticated than a ruler and string-compass.
WRAP.PS will draw templates designed to be temporarily wrapped around body tubes for marking purposes. You can specify a number of fins and the wrap will contains evenly distributed marks similar to the Estes guides. You can also specify a miter angle which will give the wrap a curved leading edge. When wrapped around the tube you can trace around the leading edge to mark the necessary cutting line. Sizes can be specified in inches, millimeters, or even part numbers such as BT20. Angles are in degrees.
