“…Roy and I were doing the project while Johnston was recording the data.    Roy did great job with timing and I was responsible for the counts of the spring which was holding the weight movements.  We worked together really well as we appreciated each other’s work at different positions.  My partners were really helpful and we were able to finish the project by sharing our ideas and data..”
