Please,

where can I get a design for a good wiring/embedding board suitable
for MD deeps ?

I know there is a design out there that uses a cam to bend the side
bars.  When these spring back out they tension the wires.  But does it
really work ?  Surely a lot of tension must be lost in the outer most
wires due to friction ?

Is it better to pass current through one wire at a time, or all in
parallel ?

Is it better to have the tensioned wires resting on the wax, so they
"fall" into it once hot ?  Or is it better to have the wax resting on
top of the wires ?

Surely there are small differences in the geometry of side bars, so I
need some method of adjusting (up or down) the plane in which the wires
lie ?  No ?

In the past I kept the wires taught by pulling them tight with a frame
nail, but it is not very convenient.

I don't want to re-invent the wheel ....... again .......   :-)

Thanks
