Message: 737 Claim 5 cancelled, New claim 13

Thanks, Joe.

Lots of interesting, convincing, and relevant information here.

For those who don't have time to peruse the whole thing, I've pasted in a copy of the TOC, which could also be seen as an outline of EDIG's argument.

The full document contains diagrams, details, etc.

IMHO Handal has made a very strong case.
