I just went through the same thing with the stops section of Juke. Pat Missin did an expermiment with a spectrum analyzer which suggests the stops as well Le Riff are a 3-6 octave. BTW, LW died in 1968, not 1967. On Valentine's Day, no less. Further details are forthcoming when Scott Dirks gets his LW bio out. This should be a great book.
