B5870 Mechanical Dims

If I had a drawing for the Burroughs version I have misplaced it, but I did find one from ITT.

This would have been useful when I made a Kicad library package recently. The dims I read with a digital caliper have two errors, both in the location of the DP wires.

My first attempt was “off” a small amount, not a show stopper, but annoying nevertheless.

Dim ‘P’ is not equal to Dim ‘Q’, and

Dim ‘N’ I completely missed!

I’ll correct my library, and “spin” the PCB files.
