In contrast, the swinger would normally have Pivot Thrust for a 3 barrel full stroke. In summary, I would emphasize that if you are using Right Arm Thrust nothing says that you will have Pivot Thrust- you only have "this initial acceleration" if you are using Pivot Thrust- and for Hitting that would be 4 barrel. That's at least the basic template- I'm using words such as normally and strictly speaking because you really have an infinite number of options and possibilities depending on the length of the stroke and what accumulators you choose to use, etc.

Thanks again Mike for reading between the lines. I didn't write in a foggy manner intentionally, but sometimes I feel I get really good answers that way, rather than asking lots of specific questions.

This was the reason for my confusion: I've seen a post from Yoda somewhere that says
"both Swinger and Hitter 'Crank', i.e., at Start Down, each tightens the Left Side Tension that supplies the initial Pull of the Downstroke."
Yoda does not mention that this initial pull is only experienced by the four-barrel Hitter with the new acc#4 (as opposed to a three barrel hitter), which was what you were saying in your previous post, correct?

Going a step back...
“Or to Right Arm Thrust add the Shoulder Turn per 2-M-4."
I assume the above statement is directed to the 3 Barrel Swinger (Acc #2/3/4) who wants the add the final missing Acc #1 to his pattern. Am I right?
So, Yoda says , "The Thrust of the Downstroke Shoulder Turn supplies the initial acceleration of the Lever Assemblies (6-B-4-0)."
But the 3-Barrel Swinger already has this Downstroke Shoulder Turn Thrust (as per my first Yoda quote above), am I right?

Once again, thank you to Yoda and Mike for your patience.

Tongzilla, In regards to:
“Or to Right Arm Thrust add the Shoulder Turn per 2-M-4."
I assume the above statement is directed to the 3 Barrel Swinger (Acc #2/3/4) who wants the add the final missing Acc #1 to his pattern. Am I right?

Read 2-M-3 again- which is where this quote is from. The statement is directed to the 3 barrel Hitter- i.e. Right Arm Thrust - Accumulator #1 and then to make it a 4 barrel Hitting procedure you need to add the Pivot Thrust on the downstroke or as he puts it here "add the Shoulder Turn per 2-M-4", to add the final missing Acc #4 to his pattern.
