2006 Q8 - Development of overlaps etc

[PJW]

Just had a skim read so far and it reads well. In general I don't think that continuous prose is the best way of gaining marks quickly in exam conditions, but actually the descriptive text book seems to suit this style of question quite well- I may have added more diagrams (e.g. perhaps re the SOD / overlap) and just wonder whether too much time spent at the begnning re absolute block. I'll evaluate in more detail and give further feedback later, but actually my gut feeling would be that this would have scored well on a question that few others would have attempted most of which would have been pretty weak and woffly, so your answer would have stood out amongst them.

Another attempt for comments please.
