line widths for Torahs

[hatam_soferet]

A post that can be of no possible interest save to the very very few.

Thus.

On klaf, 8mm lines of 62 yuds (average) are done at 134mm wide, because that’s what works.

Therefore, a column of 47 yuds needs to be 102mm wide, one of 66 yuds needs to be 143mm wide, one of 75 yuds needs to be 162mm wide, and one of 90 yuds needs to be 195mm wide.

It is not particularly ideal to have columns of such very varied width, but it is not per se problematic.
