Load-Tech: designation (for example 9x10), rope range, and B, F, H, A, D, E. The letters of one table are not those of the other and neither source defines them in text.",
   "They agree on the inside dimensions: pairing the two tables by groove width (Jinbo's a = Load-Tech's B, 14 sizes from 4 to 32 mm), Load-Tech's H equals Jinbo's inside length I and Load-Tech's D equals Jinbo's inside width C in every pair (for example 38 and 24 at the 9 / 10 mm size; 45 and 28 at 11 / 12; 58 and 36 at 15 / 16). They differ on the overall length: Load-Tech's A minus Jinbo's B runs from -1 mm (7 / 8 mm size: 50 against 51) to +14 mm (26 / 28 mm size: 166 against 152); for the 9 / 10 mm thimble Jinbo's B is 57 mm and Load-Tech's A is 59, for 11 / 12 mm 64 against 70, for 20 / 22 mm 114 against 126. The sources do not say why, so neither is called wrong here: check the thimble you buy.",
