matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 04/18/2020 3:03 pm I just found these today - pulled from circulation years ago. I always thought that to be 'clipped' the ''cut' had to be curved but the glossary says that straight clips exist. Please confirm. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Note the devices fading on the affected areas next to the clips. Also not the Blakesley affect showing 180 degrees from the clipped areas. When the clips get larger the Blakesly affect is less noted. These are showing the Blakesly affect though: Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/18/2020 3:23 pm Great info as usual, Coop! Didn't know that larger clips actually reduced the Blakesley effect. That's good to know. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/18/2020 5:30 pm It seems that what proto rim didn't make that edge rise, seems like they strike forces it a bit. Except on the last one where it didn't. Report this Post to the Staff
