Dear Derek,
Have you seen John Neptune's little treatise on pressure points? As
he is a helpless and inveterate punster he has entitled it, "An
Interesting Bore." If you haven't seen it I can scan it and send you
a JPEG of each page (4). To be printable the file sizes will need to
be around 150KB per page. Also, I can ZIP them (Windoze) or compress
them to a .sit file in a folder (Mac). Just let me know.
Are you using the wet paper technique to locate the pressure points?
Let me know and I'll send those JPEGs to you.
Regards,
eB
