Thanks again to those who replied with some measurements.

David Kirkland from Steinway was kind enough to fill in the rest of  
the #'s. As John requested here is a copy of their current  
measurements. These are from the front of the agraffe. I need to check  
the "B" dimension since it doesn't agree with my original notes (that  
had the B at 6 59/64", but those notes go back about 30 years).

Model S = 5-21/32"
Model M = 6-5/64"
Model O = 6-27/64"
Model L = 6-7/16"
Model A = 6-19/64"
Model B = 6-3/4"
Model C = 8"
Model D = 9-27/32"

Model A is designed with a strike point dimension less than Models O  
and L.
