You have to read the Ellis Translation of Sensation of Tone by
Herman Helmholtz.  Get it from the library or Schaff.     In the
appendices Ellis shows the results he "measured" from 5 tunings of
5 of Broadwood "best" tuners.   Read this and then compare to Big
Red.  Also realize Ellis said within "one cent".   You might be
chagrined that they are no more than one cent from each
er.    ---ric
