	Even on top and bottom, they stick out by nearly the radius of the
impeller ring! In the books I have, the impeller nodes stick further
out than the hammerheads on top and bottom. In fact, your vertical
dimension would be nearly right for the horizontal dimension (should
be just a teeny tiny bit more).
