| -2- Contd. Increased width of slot = .016" New " " = .166" On depth of slot we save 2 x .048" = .096" and spend 6 x .008 = .048" i.e. depth of slot is less by .048" and will therefore be .487. Slot is now .166" x.487" Present neck depth = .535 - 3/4 of .075 = .535 - .056 = .479" Dia. at neck = 3.100 - .958 = 2.142" Oce = 6.74" 1/28 of this = .241 Slot = .150 '. neck = .091" New neck depth = .487 - 3/4 of .083 = .487 - .062 = .425 Dia. at neck = 3.100 - .850 = 2.250 Oce = 7.07 1/28 of this = .253 Slot = .166 Neck = .087" This is O.K.
