Well done Bill, that's a nice piece of work.
I'm putting together a small chart showing all the various measurements used in Bessler's time, according to the city or town concerned, and how they relate to today's measures. I'll post it as soon as it's ready.

: Hi Scott, John and all,
: I've included a small diagram at the bottom of the measurements page of orffyre.com which shows the evolution of Bessler's various wheels. I thought some people might find this useful for visualising relative size comparisons (person is 6 foot tall for reference). Of course, should it prove to be incorrect I will alter it, and the measurement data, accordingly.
: Also, 61-80 of MT drawings have finally been completely uploaded to the site.
