My original calculation was taken from the november 07 edition of Pat Missin's "Altered States"
Tho Richard Sleigh's excellent Marine Band Reed Replacement chart refers to 'handmades' the same principal seems to be correct.
My error was pointed out by Winslow as to the re-tooling date (1995)
Steve Baker suggested I move one hole over.....
