Page 16 of the SAT III manual: '"Good' FAC Numbers" "You can tell a lot about a piano and its scale design from the FAC stretch numbers. The three numbers should be reasonably close to each other and lie in a reasonably straight line. For example, FAC numbers such as 10, 8, 6, or 5, 6, 7, or 8, 8, 8 represent beautifully scaled pianos..........Some spinets have measured FAC numbers of 25, 6, 8. It is essentially impossible to get smoothly progressing beat rates across such diverse levels of inharmonicity." It says the same thing somewhere in the SAT I and II manuals.
