The SS and FBI place 4 shots in and around Z313 - just not Z313

[David Josephs]

David,

I think we'll get a better idea of what you summarized in regards to horizontal/vertical points (measuring sticks) with a few examples:

Mr. SPECTER. Was there any difference between the position of President Kennedy's stand-in and the position of President Kennedy on the day of the assassination by virtue of any difference in the automobiles in which each rode?
Mr. SHANEYFELT. Yes; because of the difference in the automobiles there was a variation of 10 inches, a vertical distance of 10 inches that had to be considered. The stand-in for President Kennedy was sitting 10 inches higher and. the stand-in for Governor Connally was sitting 10 inches higher than the President and Governor Connally were sitting and we took this into account in our calculations.

Elm St slope = 3.13degrees = 1ft vertical per 18.3ft horizontal

10"/12" =.833ft

.833ft x 18.3 = 15.2499ft

15.249ft = DISTANCE FROM JFK WITHIN LIMO TO LIMO FRONT BUMPER

Mr. KELLEY. The officials at Hess Eisenhardt, who have the original plans of the President's car, conducted a test to ascertain how high from the ground a person 72 1/2 inches would be seated in this car before its modification. And

132

---

it was ascertained that the person would be 52.78 inches from the ground--that is, taking into consideration the flexion of the tires, the flexion of the cushions that were on the car at the time.
Mr. SPECTER. When you say 52.78 inches, which individual would that be?
Mr. KELLEY. That would be the President.
Mr. SPECTER. And what part of his body?
Mr. KELLEY. The top of the head would be 52.78 inches from the ground.

JFK's head height (refer to previous posting) at head shot = 3.27ft above ground = 39.24 inches
JFK's head height above ground = 52.78 inches.

Vertical range = 13.54 inches.

Please correct me if I'm wrong Chris as I hope I understand you....

So the limo would need to be farther UP Elm since a 52.78" high shot at Z313 would sail over JFK
yet about 20-22 feet further back UP Elm (30 feet to the back of the limo instead of JFK's head)
we'd expect the limo to be 13 vertical inches higher than at Z313.

The 13.54 inches enables them to place the limo in any position and the numbers still would not add up...
