    Thanks for the specs, I tried plugging these into the hull stress
formula, using tube length of zero, hoping it would calculate numbers for a
sphere, but the formula broke down and returned negative numbers.  Is there
a formula for spheres and hemispheres, I'm in school so I don't start
working again till summer, my first paycheck I will order the ABS book, but
I was hoping to finish design and finding suppliers before then.
Thanks everyone
Jason
