Hello,
I think I'm right in identifying this as a K.Gr16 but would be happy to be corrected as I have a reference to this shell, but it gives no clue as to the driving band dimensions insofar as: distance from base of shell to lower edge of driving band, with of band, etc...
I have dimensions taken from this shell, but have yet to find out the measurement of how much the band protudes from the body of the shell (rough picture provided!)
Does it sit level with the Copper band below it?
Would greatly appreciate any illustrations or technical references if possible.
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers.

Many thanks sdgbdr, but my shell has a different base. It doesn't have the corrugations, and has two driving bands rather than just one.
Appreciated all the same.
Cheers!
