Subject: EIA...got the ^@&@!! spec
From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...

Here is the definitive answer from Uncle Sam.
The ∗OFFICIAL∗ spec is EIA-310, Revision D. On page 4,
the center-to-center spec is..........drum roll.................
465.1mm or 18.312 inches, +/- 0.016 inches
Oh brother!
Now, as Stooge Larry has pointed out, vendors sort of use poetic
license because they figure ∗slotted∗ panels. Yes, there even is an
∗OFFICIAL∗ slot spec.
So, I'm (as we used to say at Tandy) screwed, blued and tatooed.
Back to the drawing board...sigh.....
