Dimensions for Standard 5x7 Film Holder

[Dan Mace]

Hello,

Anyone out there happen to have the outside dimensions for a standard 5x7 film
holder?- Length and Width. I'm reverse engineering a quick 5x7 box camera and thought I'd get started on it the while I wait for a film holder I ordered online
to arrive.. Thanks

Here is a link to a table which contains ANSI holder specifications. The information that you seek is there.

If I interpret the 1951 ANSI information correctly, the exposure height for 5x7 holders should be 6.579 inches, not 7.01 inches as listed in the above link.
