Comment:

The 16mm operating cam is about 1/2" in diameter, and has a total  
throw of one 16mm perf (0.2994").

The 4-perf 35mm operating cam is about 1" in diameter, and has a  
total throw of four 35mm perfs (0.7464")

The 8-perf 35mm operating cam is also about 1" in diameter, and has a  
total throw of eight 35mm perfs (1.4928")

The 4- and 8-perf operating cams are located on adjacent portions of  
the camshaft.
