I have a couple of problems and need your help ...
First, the file I get using the url above will not open in my version of Winzip (v8.1). Actually the download is almost instantaneous - as if I may be getting only a header. And I get the message "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive ..." when trying to open. I've tried downloading multiple times into different directories and under different filenames.

Second, I believe I have found another discrepancy with the prints (may or may not be corrected in the latest version... but I can't check because I cannot open the file). During our initial build attempt we had some difficulty assembling the side plates. After checking the .500 dia hole alignments I noted a significant mis-alignment of the hole pattern between the two plates, and a more detailed inspection of the drawings identified the problem. The offset .500 dia hole has a different vertical dimension by .076 (.734 vs .810). I believe the motor-mount side is the correct dimension (.734). I will contact you off-list to provide my email address and ask for the latest copy of your white paper.
Thanks!
