Your correspondent 9. is perfectly

mansions are slightly misleading. Such
an "oval" as SM inches by 5A inches
would scarcely be met with twice in
lifetime. The normal difference be.
tween the length and width technical.

through the gamut of sizes ~ inches
Thus an ordinary 6A hat would meas

and ~ -four sizes bigger 8 inches
