Don,

How do solid machined flexural pivots differ from the ones (built up from
separate components and epoxied together) such as:
http://celt.ucolick.org/reports/report16_mirrorsegsupprt_mar01/report16_mirr
orsegsupprt_mar01.htm
specifically:
http://celt.ucolick.org/reports/report16_mirrorsegsupprt_mar01/dwg_report16_
6.pdf that show the tri-plate pivot flexure and rod flexure assemblies.

Thanks in advance,
