   Heh, ok, I'm not familiar with all these space vehicle names.  :)

	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).

	;) Actually, I think it's still a bit too much on top and bottom.
OTOH, it's much too small side to side, but of course, you already
knew that :)
