Roger, This is starting to get confusing, therefore I turn to you to
interpret. The Vandoren catalog only describes the 2 measurements as "tip
opening" and "table length (facing)" The newest catalog (2001) only shows
the "table length" as designations of MS, M, ML, and L. The actual numeric
measurements come from older versions of the catalog. Thanks...Glenn
