strange FAC (SAT) numbers

[Farrell]

So how did the tuning sound with the strange numbers? That would certainly
be the way to tell if the values were indeed representative of the scaling
characteristics. Pick a note. Tune one string of all the As. How do the
octaves sound? Just testing like that will tell you if there is any hope at
all!
