Re: old Leblanc LL

Author: Caroline Smale

The bore of the LL is absolutely parallel at 14.8 mm throughout the upper joint and most of the lower joint.
There is a very slight reverse taper in the barrel, on my instruments this is typically about 0.008 thou.

As far as I understand Leblanc only started to introduce tapered and poly-cylindrical bores from about the L7 onwards.

I have seen many Leblancs from the 50s and 60s and all have had parallel bores
