Notes of Steel Studs:

Steel Studs and Runners 
Channel shaped, roll formed, with corrosion resistant coating. Secure, rigid screw or clip attachment of the gypsum base utilizes the full structural contribution of the lath and plaster membrane.
Stud widths: 1-5/8" (for 25 ga. only), 2-1/2", 3-5/8", 4", 6"  with a flange of 1-7/8 
Gauges: 25, 22, 20 
Stud lengths: 8' to 16' (Runners or track come in stud width in 10' length only.) 

 
 Metal Furring Channels 
Hat shaped channels for ceiling and wall furring. Roll formed from two gauges of corrosion resistant steel. DWC-25 is for screw attachment of 1/2" and 5/8" gypsum panels. DWC-20 is for greater spans and load carrying capacity in ceiling applications. Products comply with ASTM C645.
Face width: 1-1/4" 
Depth: 7/8" 
Length: 12' 
Cold Rolled Channels
Made of 16-ga. steel, used for furring and with suspended ceilings/partitions. Available either galvanized or black asphaltum painted. 
Sizes: 3/4", with 1/2" flange; 1-1/2" and 2", with 1-7/32" flange 
Length: 16' and 20' 
USG® Steel J-Runners
Used at floor and ceiling in shaft wall assemblies and for special stud framing, made with unequal legs in 
2-1/2", 4" and 6" widths. 
Gauges: 20, 24 
Length: 10' 
Guage Design Thickness (in.)1 Minimum Thickness (in.) 1,2a
20 0.0346 (0.88mm) 0.0329 (0.84mm)

Notes of Scale:

When Netscape prints; I have found that the limits of the HTML are 120 dpi.@ a printable width of 7" and a height of 9-3/8" When Micorsoft Explorer prints my readings were 100 dpi.@ a HTML printable width of 6-29/32" and a height of 9-1/2" 

The printable capasity of the Epson Stylus COLOR(ESC/P2) is 8" wide by 10-5/16" high; I defined this by the title upper left, file name upper right, page 1 of 2 lower left, date time lower right. 

I used Corel Capture to pluck a view of Netscape client window. I had sized the window as accurately as my tools and whit would allow. Corel Paint reviled 120 dpi, width of 7.25896" (871 Pixels) and Height of 9.51749" (1,142 Pixels) 3.67 meg at 24 bit color. I will use these facts learned as the basis to define the workable and printable area of HTML.
