Chalmers: good CPS explanation. error?

One good explanation of 'em that I read was in Chalmers' "Divisions of the
Tetrachord", of which I apparently bought the last copy (unless more have
been printed since last year.).

Apropo, I believe there is an error in the diagram there on page 116.

Should the top corner of the hexany not be "3*7" instead of "5*7"?
Likewise the botom right corner should be "5*7" instead of "3*7"?

That way, every line at a given angle represents the same interval, the
way lattices usually work.

There are one or two errors which John himself kindly pointed out in
response to my questions. That one of yours looks familiar.
