I clearly state again, that this is not a QSA document is a sample of how combinations may result in exit
rung placement – these are not final, nor exact. This form was produced for my personal use; Joanne
Bailey
I use the FIND function to type in the 4 LoA the decipher an approximate placement, then refine it
more exactly based on the individual profile.
