coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/07/2021 7:21 pm That is what you are seeing. Not a doubled die, but the machine altered the devices. Note how all the devices are affected on one side of the devices. There is a reduction of the affected devices. It is flat, shelf like. On a doubled die, there is a spread that happens on a doubled die, enlarging the center of the devices making it wider.: Note the normal size of the devices, then note the size of the doubled die devices? Can you see the difference? It is like this: Does this help a bit more? Edited by coop 02/07/2021 7:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
