I wonder if someone would be kind enough to do a rough tracing of a Beseler negative carrier?

I plan on making my own, matte board, etc., and it would save time to get the approximate registration via a tracing.
I can then extrapolate the different size negative mask dimensions, putting my negative on center.

Extra: Would the outline be available online, like a manufacturing blueprint, somewhere?

Bump for a tracing, or maybe a factory blueprint source?

I don't have one handy (packed away) but how about this article?

and here is a downloadable 3D printer model for a 6x6 holder:

OK, I went down and found a 6x6 holder:

The ring that fits down into the lower aluminum flange of the lens stage is 120mm outside diameter.
The ring itself is approximately 5.25mm in thickness
The diameter of the entire holder is approximately 160mm
The handle sticks out approximately 55mm.
Each plate is 2.35mm thick.
