There was more to my post, but for a reason or another it didn't post, so here's another go.

Forgive me for the detail, but hoping it makes things easier to grasp. I have put a comment where I am not sure, but if you think, I can make this simpler, please do comment inline, and advise if this list on the devices can be cleaned up.

 

Thank You
