Twenty-odd posts later and we have an impressive array of answers to questions that Michael didn't ask. Unfortunately I haven't got the chart he's looking for, so I can't put him out of his misery. Can't anybody help him?

We might have a fighting chance if we knew what the chart looked like.

Just to be different, I have such charts pinned to the ceiling, the only place left that has room for them

I thought for one moment there Brian, that you were going to say that looking up Metric sizes was a right pain in the neck......

Maurice, a bit difficult to answer "is it this?" when you have in fact posted two. But I succeeded in posting a picture of my dillapidated one, you can see that the one I am chasing is in the first of your two photos, (labelled, strangely, Photo 2)

I dont suppose a quality scan or photo of it, unpinned and flattened, is out of the question?

Hi Michael Belfer, your chart was in issue No. 73 MEW May 2001.

The two charts that Maurice have were , top one issue 134 Jan 2008 and the bottom one issue 135 Feb 2008.

Regards Nick.

I have scanned the 2008 chart to a PDF (40MB) It is downloadable from Journeyman's Workshop I assume that MTM have the copyright so I don't know how long it can stay there! I had to join four scans together and the fold lines are a bit visible but everything is readable despite it being printed in a strange faded blue colour.

I am sure one of the Mods will let me know if they want it taken down.

There are some old threads where DC1 says he has the original files, wonder if Neil could access them and reprint as it may be welcomed more than some of the archived content.

Big thanks to Nick Farr for sending me PDFs of the two sides of the chart, plus the whole chart.

These are much smaller than Journeyman's scans but seem to be perfectly legible.

You can download them here, where there is some advice on printing:

It seems someone misunderstood and used that chart for tap dancing...

If I can find them or other data tables...

Managed to reduce the file size down to 10MB on my version. Both the huge and small available to download. I don't know if the charts are any different, I don't think so. Download @ Journeyman's Workshop
