Jim,
And Why did you do that? Based on what reasons? I'm curious, since 425cps
would only apply to something made before 1875 and even then, would have to
have solid reasoning to go that route. 425cps, basically, only applies to
British made instruments, just in case you didn't know.<G> Of course, you
did not say what kind of a "square" you were working on. Identifying and
Dating is of prime importance in this work!!
