Hello all,
I have modified the format only of Newton's data (hopefully not
manipulated). Perhaps someone who buys Röslau from
APSCO could take a mic and see which column of numbers
their Röslau wire matches the best.
Imported Röslau from Jahn, of Germany is always marked
on the package in millimeters (.925 mm). The ring of Röslau I
bought from APSCO recently just had a gage number (16) on the
package, no corresponding diameter in either inches or
millimeters. It matched my imported 16 1/2 exactly, in other words,
it mic'ed at .950 mm.

BTW  Thanks to Joel Rappaport for helping me find the ö on my
keyboard. The answer was Alt button down and 148 on the numbers pad.
