Slot Measurement
THERE ARE NO INDUSTRY STANDARDS OR SIZES IN MAIL SLOTS. YOU MUST MEASURE ACCURATELY!
The first slot dimensioning method (a) provides the width and the distance between the end radii center points. The slot race takes place on a long straight length of track often scaled to a quarter-mile. How fast can slot cars go? The speed of slot cars are again based usually on a scale and this is known as “Scale MPH” so a 1:32 scale car would be measured over a distance of 1:32 of a mile. Measure at the ends, middle, and quadrant points, both high and low - 8 measurements and you will probably catch most deviations. Choose a tool that lets you do that, if these things matter. Tapered parallels, for example, are nice but tend to assume the slot has a single dimension.
Successful purchases and installations depend entirely on accurate measurements.
One manufacturer’s “magazine” size may be another manufacturer’s “letter” size. Even our “Elite” magazine size is a different size from our “Classic Surface Mount” magazine size.
