[pct-l] Re: variable pitch??

[brawny03@yahoo.com (C.Wellman)]

Thats what tarps are all about...variable pitch.
You don't have that with a tent because the floor is
fixed.


Tarp people, help me out here. When you pitch a given
shape closer to the ground (spreading it out) Pitch is
changed. The angles change. That means every tarp has
variable pitch. Now, if some structure is sewn onto
it, like an overhang, or door, or a Beak, it
automatically will vary with the tarp. That is
geometry.

I think this is just average intelligence
mathmatics...
am I missing something here?

You can call it a fancy name, but anyone who has ever
pitched a tarp has experienced Variable Geometry
Pitch...or some such thing.

Geometrically Varied Pitch

Pitched Geometically Varied

Variation of a Geometic Pitch

good heavens
