Roger, I actually have 2 Vandoren catalogues, including the newest from
April 2001. Both refer to the B45 as (1/100mm) 119.5, or 1.195mm, with a
facing length of 21.5mm (a 3rd very old 1986 catalogue actually gives a
facing length of 22mm). The B46 is listed as (1/100mm) 117+, or 1.17+ with a
facing length of either 19.5mm (newer catalogues) or 20mm (1986
catalogues).I don't know why the facing lengths vary from the older
catalogues to the newer ones...Perhaps you know why ...The best...Glenn
