Problems With Roll Tracking
By Douglas K. Rhodes

Greeting:  Pat DeWitt's problem (MMD 980506) with wandering rolls is
interesting.  I'm not able to write a truly knowledgeable discussion of
the problem, but I would suspect a warped or badly worn tracker bar,
combined with old, slightly stretched paper.

A _very_ careful comparison of the two tracker bars may reveal an
essential difference.

Cheers
