Here are the x and y coordinates Blake.
As far as I can tell there is a severe bug in ACAD R12 "point"
command both for polar coordinates and rectangular coordinates.  
I had to use ACAD R11 to plot these rectangular points in the dwg.
I wrote a little Quick BASIC program to convert from Tracy's polar
to rectangular coordinates and then used R11 IMPORT command to import
the text file. Apparently R12 cannot import text.

If anybody else has a CAD program please try  to use your "point" command
(if your CAD has that feature) and plot these points on this drawing.
I am particularly interested in Turbo CAD as that seems to be
the best deal on the market. Also please let me know if Turbo CAD can import
a text file.

We can accomplish a lot with the Internet and this newsletter but we need
to develop software tools to exchange engineering ideas and share good designs.
