Some years ago Mack Headley gave us a copy of a page from a publication which provided information on radial and tangential shrinkage.  
Being an unmedicated OCD, I went on a quest to find a clean copy (since mine was hard to read due to many copy generations).

I found the publication and the exact pages.  In addition, I found it contained other interesting if not necessarily useful information.

I thought I would share this with you in case you have an interest or need.

I found that for me, chapter 1 was the most useful.

It is US Agricultural Manual 188.  It is available for download at:
