Minor updates on progress.

Have had the opportunity to tweak jet height, various levels of jet tube submersing into each cup and cup geometry.

Have managed to knock a clear 1C off what I was achieving before. I've hacked at the base-plate using sub-standard tools to try this stuff and I believe that there is more to offer if it is all machined properly.

In any event, this even further confirms the directions I need to take. The machinists haven't had the time to do the design shrink yet, and this gives me the opportunity to apply an extra tweak to the design as submitted last week.

Overall, the design is coming along very well with very encouraging results. I am extremely eager to get the next revision in hand. I have a very good feeling that it's going to offer something special from a performance perspective. Jet straws will be 3/64" in width each with 1/32" separating each one. Going to be some fine-detail machining....
