Mark, it looks as though the left numbers are the needle diameters in increments from the shoulder. I'll dig out my charts and look to make sure.

Mark, I just ran the numbers for an AN needle, and the left column numbers are the needle diameters, as I supposed.
But, the numbers along the bottom are the points on the needle where the measurement is taken, and the program seems to be off by one number. For instance, I'm showing a diameter on my chart of .0807" taken at station #4, where on the program chart, that number corresponds to station #3.
I'll run a few more and see if that holds true across the board.

hmmm...

Mark, I ran a few more needles, and the "off by one station number" theory seems to hold water. But, some of the numbers don't match my charts exactly.
I think this program may help in seeing exactly where in the curve the needles are, graphically, for comparison purposes, rather than just looking at numbers though.

Here is another SU needle program. Maybe run both programs to see if there is any discrepancies. WinSU
