As it was at the bottom of the frame, it also moved the CG lower, which also helps to reduce the tilt, even if the CG remains a little bit to the front.
> When reading the referenced article I realized it also allowed for an arbitrarily tightly stretched cross wire because the steel plate would bear all of the stress, not the art.
I don't really get this, if the plate was at the bottom. I assume the stretched wire would be attached somewhere at the top half, so the rest of the frame would need to bear at least some of the stress.
- ChuckMcM 3y agoIt was a plate, probably 3" "tall" and as wide as the frame, attached in four places at each of the corners. As a result it held the frame rigid (much like a corner bracket would). If you pulled the top toward each other, in addition to the top bar of the frame resisting that pull, the bracket would resist and attempt to make the bottom/side angle less than 90 degrees.
