Yes Martin I am and we are supposed to recreate around 79 in the Flavian period. Yes we have 2 3 spanners in wood but we have no record of metal frames before Trajan's column. I have argued that there must have been a development period as the Cremona 3 spanners were 30 odd years old but the committee remain unconvinced and short of some more finds with coins on top we are in difficulty. As to the bend in the verticals if you have an outswinger that is where the bend needs to be . An inswinger would indeed have them the other way I would have thought. Certainly that is the way Dietwulf Baatz interpreted them.
