In that case, the exact measurement ought to be 203mm, an eighth for a speaking length of 1624 mm (according to my records). At 23:44 +0000 16/2/10, I wrote: >How do you arrive at that figure, Ed? The speaking length of A-1 on >the model C is roughly 1624 mm. 1/8 of that is 203 mm... and by the same token the measurement for the Model A ought to be 177 mm. if the same principles were followed in both models.
