…we got into a conversation about how easy it is to forget the fundamentals like draping and filling out a spec sheet. Funny thing, we both forgot how to measure shoulder slope. We knew the term, but couldn’t remember how to take the measurement. After talking about it and sketching it out on a napkin we figured it out.
