Thanks Robbie.   I've enclosed two documents -- an Excel spread sheet
implementing your formula, and a text output of same.

Cheers,

Roll buildup effect on A-roll speed, assuming ten 2.5-minute tunes,
evenly divided.  Assume standard A-roll beginning tempo is 60 (6.0 feet
per minute).

  Delta = To*(OD/CD - 1)/(N+1)

  To = Initial Tempo = 60
  OD = Outside diameter = 4.7
  CD = core diameter = 3.63
  N = Number of tunes = 10

Initial Tempo 60
Overall Increm't 77.686
Increment per tune 1.7686

 [ The numbers seem good, George.  All values relate to "Tempo", i.e.,
 [ 10 times feet-per-minute, and I corrected the column name
 [ accordingly.  Could you please explain the columns under 'Beats
 [ per Minute'?  What's the formula?  -- Robbie
