Hi Paul,

Good for you!  I messed up and inverted part of the example.

It should read:

> The minor third inverted into a major sixth is a valid test of an octave
> at and below the temperament because it reflects the 6:3 octave.  But, the > minor sixth should be slower than the sixth.
>
> Example: C2-Eb2 minor third and Eb2- C3 major sixth the minor third should
> be SLOWER to expand the octave at the 6:3.
>
> Bear in mind, the minor third is a contract interval the sixth an expanded
> one.
