Trivia Question About Design

It seems to me I once read the chamber portion of the pipe stummel isn't quite set at a 90 degree angle. Not owning any measurement tools of this precision, I don't know this as a fact. Is it, and if so, why? Psychological bent? Something to do akin to my signature quote? : puffy

OMG! I just paid to have my grill rods adjusted to be evenly spaced top to bottom. Have I ruined a good RR??

It's to make the pipe as though it was steaming Dead Ahead, those of you who were in the Navy know what I mean, Poetry in Motion.

You all have me studying my straight billiards. Hmmm.

According to some of my pipe making friends, a straight billiard typically is canted 2 degrees forward.

They look pinched at 90°. But if the first billiards ever made were at 90°, we would probably accept that as the norm.
