I would think a caliper measurement would be the best way to discover what you are looking for. I'm not sure looking at a photo would be good for .004
The base of CE 399 was slightly flattened, although the forward section was pristine. I am sure SA Robert Frazier took this into account when he measured CE 399's diameter, prior to testifying before the Warren Commission. I also believe he would have used a Vernier caliper to measure CE 399's diameter, in order to arrive at a measurement as fine as 6.65 mm.
This is the point of my entire post; we don't have to rely solely on comparing the diameter of CE 399 in the photo to the Metric scale above it. We are merely confirming the measuring done by Frazier. It is no coincidence that his measurement and a measurement derived from the photo should both be 6.65-6.7 mm.
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
