[sac-forum] Better Late than Never -- dimensions for Beevo's Bino Mount

I was rummaging through some misc. papers here in my "office" and ran across the notes I took on Beevo's (Bill Van Orden's) binocular parallelogram mount. As I may have been the only other SAC-ATM member who actually saw the mount (before Beevo sold it), I thought it might be of interest, if nothing more than a check against the CAD drawings that Steve Dodder scaled from a photo. 
Main arms were 1 inch square thick-wall aluminum tubing
Main arms length (distance between pivots) = 16 inches
Distance vertically between arms = 4 inches
Height of top arm pivot on vertical post (above tripod ) = 11 inches
I did not record the diameter of the nicely-machined vertical post, or any of the other dimensions (as those would necessarily vary depending upon the weight and size of the binoculars and the tripod used).
