    Discussed many times here on the forum.

    I can't remember exactly, but think it indicated centre pinion height.

    “Thingy”, often defined as centre wheel arbor, cannon pinion, and hour wheel. :)

    This number denotes the "hand height" of the movement. This in turn tells you how long (tall) the hour wheel, cannon pinion, and sweep seconds pinion will be. Center wheel stays the same...

    Cheers, Al
