In order  to illustrate an article on temporary tower-raising, I put 
together a  simple sum-of-forces diagram.  Being a "milliamp and solder" 
guy, I  don't trust my ability to recall college-days Statics and 
Dynamics courses  well enough to publish it without review. Would one of 
the ME/CE mavens  out there contact me off-list to make a short review of 
it?  No  wet-stamp required :-)

Hi Ward,
 
I certainly could do this for you, as I am retired from BU, where one of my 
 jobs was as a professor of mechanical engineering; I taught the statics 
and  dynamics courses over many years(among many, including a telecom course 
and  other science and math courses unrelated to ME).
 
Unfortunately, in  Oct 2010, you asked for my help to write a chapter  for 
the Antenna Handbook, and a matter of weeks later then reneged, without any  
rational explanation. This experience makes me personally reluctant to 
assist  you. But perhaps there are others here on the list who have a more  
positive experience and can help you out. Wishing you luck on the article.
 
Best 73,
