I want to extend a big Texas "Thank you!" to John Ross, the director of the Fort Hays State University Forsyth Library in Kansas. He provided space on the FHSU library server for this site from 2002-2008. I've since moved to a commercial server, but I wanted to make sure that John and FHSU get thanked for helping me out during those years. 1/1/09 |

Rob Schorry has created an Excel spreadsheet that plots parabolic curves. He uses it to shape parabolic antenna dishes on his spacecraft models. Directions on how to use it are embedded in the spreadsheet. Of course, you'll need a copy of Excel to make it all work...

For those of you needing to make conical shrouds and transitions, Robert Blaske has a Javascript shroud calculator program at http://archive.rocketreviews.com/tool_shroud.shtml. This program calculates shrouds (cones with the top cut off) as a flattened
shape. It calculates radii and angle to a high degree of accuracy using any
unit of measure. 12/19/97
