 TW>  I checked that website, EuroEnergy, and could find NO trace of a

Let me try to make this clearer for you - I measured a new 3LR12 battery
(which is interchangeable with the #703 used in a later version of the
Eveready Daylo 3651 to replace three discrete "B" cells) and compared
the measurements to the dimensions in the EuroEnergy chart to determain
that the "B" cell is almost the same size as the 17 X 50mm
"A" cell and
estimated that the height of the "B" should be 55-60mm...

Is this clearer?
