REFLECTOR:Elevator balancing

[Pat Shea]

 Okay, I'm ranting. After doing some research on
elevator balancing I've come up w/ a reflector post
that says the elevator should be balanced without the
sparrow strainer; VV volume 12 "Views from the West"
where Machado clearly states the side of the elevator
w/ the sparrow strainer is going to need more
counterweight to compensate for it (he's obviously
balancing w/ the strainer on); and the manual that
doesn't mention the strainer in the elevator balancing
section of chapter 4. 
 What gives?? It seems more research only leads to
more conflicting information on a LOT of subjects.
Shouldn't the generally accepted standard/practice for
this sort of stuff be pretty well set in stone at this
point??
