# Swing -- consider shape and dimensions of body and the space in which it will rotate about its center of gravity. Pivots must be in line. Anything on a radius from either pivot will reduce the swing capacity; distance of pivot from obstructions determines swing capacity. | # Swing -- consider shape and dimensions of body and the space in which it will rotate about its center of gravity.
