Size

SIZE OF THE CAVITY of the mould IS MEASURED IN CENTEMETERS (2.5cm = 1in)
(THIS DETERIMINES THE SIZE OF THE MODEL PRODUCED)

IN THIS WEBSITE WE CITE ONLY THE MAXIMUM DIMENSION.
( MEDIAN and MINIMUM were usually also determined)

Parts of a mould are measured in millimeters (1/10th of a centimeter; 25 = 1 inch) Most photographs contain a centimeter rule to indicate scale.
