Paul,  this morning there was an inquiry about the MMP weight which I
accidentally deleted.  My apologies to whoever posted the question.
The answer is that the  pocketed 24inch MMP with Barry Mount Holders,
weighs 10 lbs. 5 Oz.  The other question he asked was did I want help
optimizing the design or stress analysis done on it and the answer is
thanks but no thanks.  The MMP has been tested and proven to be more
than adequate. It is a beautiful design in appearance and function.
Time to move on.

I'll say amen to the testing. 600 ft pounds applied to the center
of the plate with minimal deflection. I think the pockets are
too small. It would not hurt to make them bigger and the web thinner.
