Sounds good to me, I don't belive tension (or compression) has anything

to with the speed of transmission in a solid.

But to get the expected measurements in a solid structure that is being
read for resonent feedback variances, wouldn't said feedback be
effected if the the solid had a wide range of motion? Seems like it
would require isolation for relaible readings. Out of my depth on this
one, folks....just guessing based on what I've read from Bob C.
