[Amps] Line Sections As Plate Lines

[craxd]

John,
I read that and your correct, 53 cm is 20.86614173". I'm thinking they 
may have just rounded off the number to that, I'm not sure. It's very 
likely that's what they done as it happens a lot when folks are to lazy 
to type the whole number length.

 From the website, the dimensions was, quote;

"The plate line is a 55mm dia. copper tube 53cm long, from bottom of 
cooler to top of line."

Best & 73's
