<<...4ths & 5ths were a bit slower beating than standard equal temperment
(what ever that is).   Strictly pure octaves, F3-A3 was about 6 to 6.5 beats
per second...leaning towards 6.   They used an A440 fork to tune A3
(temperment starting point)  F3 -A3 = F3 - Fork>>

How do you get 4ths and 5ths to both be slower? In equal temperament, a
slower 5th means a faster 4th.
