These are the figures that have caused the confusion.  The weights 
given in pounds on the page do not compute to the weights given in 
Cwt-Qtr-Lbs.  For instance, the 2953lbs given for the tenor at OPO 
computes exactly to the currently accepted weight of 26-1-13 and not 
the 26-1-3 given on the website.
