Gerson: Your mathematical (and other, related) observations continue to amaze and amuse me. Thanks for that!

I'm not sure if I've ever measured any of my calculators to 5 decimal places. No, strike that. I'm sure.

Except for the 11C outlier, it appears the Voyagers were shrinking over the years. No doubt when the 15CLE came back, the orginal dimensions were lost, and this was approximately the right size. Probably doubted you had a micrometer ready.
