<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2489379, member: 66&quot;]The problem with lateral displacement is that,yes the piece has moved, but you can&#039;t tell if it is still attached to the rest of the die or not.&nbsp; And if the piece of the die has not broken off completely it is just a die crack not a die break.&nbsp; Think of splitting a log.&nbsp; If the log doesn&#039;t split completely you have lateral displacement, but still just one piece of wood.</p><p><br /></p><p>But for the piece to have vertical displacement, either up or down, it has to be completely detached from the die body.&nbsp; Now you have a die break, and either a retained cud if the piece of the die is still present, or a full cud if it has fallen away completely.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is why I say there has to be vertical displacement to be a retained cud.&nbsp; Lateral displacement isn&#039;t good enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
