I guess since no one else is going to bite I will. What is this variation of a box pattern. For it to work it would almost have to depend on the pattern I guess. I like using a variation of the old Wilson ATW (sort of a box) using the short side for the box and the top cross. It works well on some patterns like mains skip 7 and 9 top and bottom.

I tried it out at home and was consistently getting a variation of one to two points higher or lower reading on a DT depending on how I started the crosses...

Hard to see how it makes a difference but I believe you.
