strange cone behavior.

Several weeks ago, I started a thread about strange cone behavior. The
middle cone on a bisque firing did not fall while the two guard cones fell.
The last firing was just completed. Same cones, cone pads, conditions and I
put them in top and bottom positions.

The cones were well behaved and the top bottom differential was about half
a cone. So the cones were not defective, and the cause of the strange
behavior lives in memory as an enigma.

>So, no answers, just an update.
