Reverse Gravity (fwd)

Hi gang.  Here's another message that landed in the "dead letter" box.

	I know there's been a lot of discussion about space mounts lately, I'd like
to address the first question...

	It's an interesting idea... (:  If I remember correctly, in one
of the supplements they had a helm known as a Rudder of Propulsion.  It
 worked by creating a 1G push (pull) on one side, making the ship effectively
'fall' through space.  The Rudder had an SR of 6.  At the suggested 17mph/SR,
that comes out to about 102mph.  That's the simple answer...
	Hope that helps...
