[RE-wrenches] Convex modules

[Kristopher Schmid]

If they were deformed with a tightened strap, it seems to me that every
other module would be bowed in the opposite direction...this is not the
case.  Every frame is bowed up to the glass side including the one on the
end that was installed glass side in for protection.  I will check the
glass itself and the centerline of the module.  Modules were palleted and
shipped vertically as shown in the picture.
