"painted in hexagons, 15 centimeters on the sides (30 centimeters in diameter), in three colors: Grey-Blue, Grey-Violet, and Grey-Brown."

"Three Color Printed linen fabric in irregular hexagons measuring 15.5 x 20 Centimeters and skewed five degrees in the filling direction (width). The three colors were Grey-Blue, Grey-Violet, and Grey-Brown."

"the width of the hexagons was 155 millimeters. With the filling yarns set square with the warp yarns, as the fabric was woven, I found that the vertical center-line of the hexagon was skewed 5 degrees and the vertical height was 200 millimeters. The side flats measured 100 millimeters in length. "

The following is what I see from the above high-lights:

Painted = 15 Centimeters side length with a 30 Centimeter Diameter or Height

Printed = 15.5 Centimeters side length, 20 Centimeter Diameter or Height

2nd Print (3rd variation) = 15.5 Centimeter Width, 10.0 Centimeter length, and a 20.0 Centimeter Diameter or Height.

The thing I am having a really hard time with is:

Painted 150mm x 300mm
Printed 155mm x 200mm
2nd Print 100mm x 200mm

The first two examples of the Painted and the Printed have close side lengths.
The diameters or heights are vastly different! One would not be symmetrical!
The 2nd Print has the same 1 to 2 ratio as the Painted, but is smaller. I have heard of two different sizes on the Kriegsmarineflugzeugstoff, this makes sense.

Hopefully Dan-San can make light of this for me or anyone else that may have a difficulty understanding this.

Thanks, Jay

P.S. I will move this to another thread if it becomes some kind of Scheißfest!
