Everyone: After Mike posted the paper, I noticed that my correction to 43-edo didn't copy--the value for the fifth of this tuning
should be 697.6744 cents rather than the 696.6744 listed. --An old typo.

I did this study on my own, though I was in contact with Erv at the time and it was he who pointed out the equivalence in 17-edo of the third generated by 9 fifths up or 8 fifths down.

Note that the 3=5, 6/5 Just positive temperament is the same as Sabat-Garibaldi's 1/9th Skhismic temperament he used on the Dinarra (to 53 places).

Paul Erlich also discovered or invented a number of similar temperaments back in the early days of the various tuning lists.
