Computations based upon
physical baselength = 69,25
effective baselength:
M3=0,9
M2 etc = 0,72
M6J and M6HM = 0,85 (0,86 is also mentioned)
I noted in an earlier post that ALL M types share the same physical length
of 69,25. Many persons give different figures for the physical baselength
of several M models (68,5 etc). These figures are not correct.
