Just a little note on rear vs. side clamps.In days of yore, when most screens were wood framed, warping was much more common, side clamps especially desirable to help level them out, as well as take the strain off of the two rear corner joints., a common failure point.Many also like the easy in/out adjustment available for things like name drops.

I have my eye on that Anatol "Thunder" or "Lightening".
Had some interesting times setting up a job last night. Some heads were setup to kick the end way up. Is this to level out the off contact with pressure? Basically compensating for deflection of the head?
