... these two situations to provide simiar results?Situation #1
a) contact surface is glass (low friction)
b) contact is on a single surface only (low friction)
c) contact surface is unmodulated (low friction)
d) stylus contact surfaces are in mid-air, only the point is touchingSituation #2
a) contact surface is vinyl (higher friction)
b) contact is on two surfaces (higher friction)
c) contact surfaces are modulated (higher friction)
d) point is in mid-air, stylus contact surfaces are touchingIf papers impress you read the FAQ's. There are good explanations there of skating forces and what causes them. Once you understand this you'll understand why a flat glass plate is a very inaccurate simulation, no matter how many salons used it.
