Ron,

Thanks for the additional in-put! I had thought that perhaps the
"13" stood for 1.13mm too, but the difference between 1.12, 1.13, and
1.14 would be almost imperceptible. Still, your suggestion may be
correct.

I know that rather extensive records of the Kaspars work does
exist, but the son feels (and I think rightly so) that that is
proprietory information.
