Otto -

So maybe the letters indicate the three different heights???

I was looking at the Blueprint CD to see if it showed any markings on the blades or other designating mark...It's in German, and I don't read German (I don't reed English two gud eider), but there are three different captions for the three blades...Lemme see what I can see...

(Maybe John Sabato will post a pic of that area of the CD...like a teaser...)

I can't make out the last letter...Maybe it's the German double-s???

6.7mm - "Kleinstmass"
7.0mm - "Normalmass"
7.3mm - "Grosstmass" [umlaut over the o; double-s in two places?]

It also says - "Die ubrigen abmessen gen siehe Kleinst mass"...

OK, I read them as Smallest Size/Measurement; Normal Size/Measurement; Largest Size/Measurement...And the other sentence refers the reader to view the other dimensions on the Smallest Size as representative of the other two...

(My freelance interpretation; use your own imagination)

Mrs Schlosky never gave me very high marks in German...
