For example, they were about 150 mm shorter, in order to fit on the 19 m turntables there. These locomotives were given the numbers 18 425 to 18 434 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn. One remained in the Soviet Zone of Occupation after the Second World War and did not return to the west until 1948, when it was exchanged for a Baden IV h , number 18 314.
This measurement excludes the length of the caudal (tail) fin. [1] Total and fork length of a fish. Total length (TL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the longer lobe of the caudal fin, usually measured with the lobes compressed along the midline. It is a straight-line measure, not measured over the curve ...
