Small cell question

[Bee Draggle]

Mann Lake sells a molded one piece plastic frame and foundation (PF-100) that has a cell size of 4.95 mm. Brushy Mountain sells a similar or possible identical frame (Item #206). Does anyone know for sure the cell size of the Brushy Mountain molded frame?

I can tell you the mann lake ones are very popular, I use the black ones.

I don't know. But if anyone buys one, please measure it, and photograph it with a ruler across ten cells and send me the picture. I'd love to know and I'd love to let everyone else know.

I went ahead and ordered a couple of these frames from Brushy Mtn. Laying a ruler across the cells I counted 19 cells in 10 cm which comes out to 5.26 mm per cell. I guess I did this right.

[Michael Bush]

The normal method is to measure across ten cells and move the decimal point one over for one cell.

I went back and remeasured using the above method and came up with a cell size of 5.5 mm.
