Hensley Arrow: How does it REALLY work?

I'm glad BetterEd finally joined our discussion. I'm sure there are many others who have followed the thread but haven't chipped in yet.
Ed is right on. The thread really began to digress when we isolated the linkage and discarded the constraints built into the way the hitch attaches to a TV and TT. I think I lost a couple people who had real-life experience with the hitch at that point. I apologize for venturing in that direction, but I had good intentions at the time of attempting to support Ron's assertions about it not acting like a straight truck when hanging like a pendulum (no contact between TT and ground).
I think it would be good to compose some kind of summary of the ground we've covered in this thread. As far as I can tell, for the most part we agree on the basic premises of this discussion. The points where there have been disagreement seem to be largely a matter of semantics and subjective observation. None of these contentions appear to be critical in describing the effectiveness of the hitch even to the point of quantifying reactionary forces.
Maybe I can start something in the next day or two. If anyone else wants to take a stab at it, please go ahead.
Thanks,
Tim
