I'm absolutely hopeless when it comes to grills The paper is quite thin and a bit transparent. Thanks much for any help with an ID!

Edit: OK I took a stab at counting the grill points and it looks like a #92?

Yup!

Looks like an F grill from here. It's tough to tell from the scan as it looks a tad tall, I'm bad.. I never measure grills, I always count points. Maybe you can do the following to try and bring the grill out a bit?

Take a pencil tip, rub it on your finger tip until you have a nice buildup of graphite on your skin. Then, LIGHTLY and GENTLY rub over the grill area, you should see the grill clearly then.

An F grill is around 11-12 points by about 16-17.

It's not an E grill and a Z grill is 13 x 18 points. Don't go nuts, I'm sure it's not a Z grill, only 2 of those exist.

Still. Id like a better look.

Bill
