Can you tell me the size crossver in mm.?

[Ptarmigan]

I'm selling a Concertina over on eBay today & I've just been asked this question:

 

"Can you tell me the size crossver in mm."

 

Can anyone here tell me what I should measure, because, excuse my ignorance, but this means absolutely nothing to me!

 

Cheers

Can only guess that they are asking for the diameter of the ends, flat to flat. ???

I agree with Rod.

"Crossver" Looks very technical, but I'd say its a typo for cross-over. And even then ...

OK So that'd be 150mm - does that sound normal for an 1890s Jeffries?

 

Anyway, I replied to this guy, asking him to clarify, so at least now, I'm ready to reply to him.

 

Thanks.

 

By the way, how many different sizes were there for 26/30 button Jeffries?

That's the right thing to do, rather than guess at his meaning and risk misinforming him.

Except that Jeffries probably would have called it 6 inches.
