I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the smallest circle that will fit
over a trapezoid. No, it not home work -- I need to know what size to make
the hole for the thingy I'm building. I tried asking some coworkers, a PhD
ME, a MSME, and a physicist. I'm just a electronic tech, so assumed they'd
be smarter than me.

The particulars in this case are, the cross section is an trapezoid, 0.310"
bottom width, 0.200" top width, 0.210" height, symmetrical about the Y
axis -- What size hole will that fit in to?


..342 plus or minus a thou or so.
