But you can easily find the thickness as the thickness of all the
laminations is the same as the core.



Thanks, Dave, but this assumes the "stack" has been made the same as the
core-width (middle leg width). It is often NOT! The thickness is usually MORE
than the core-width!

With vernier calipers, or even a good ruler, one can USUALLY see the edges
of the core right as it enters the winding. I suspect 4.5" is NOT a linear
width in this instance, and am waiting for corrected values.
