[ARC5] MS Connector Question

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The two-digit number in that position is the shell size (just arbitrary 
even numbers in the range 10 to 36).  The "S" following the shell size number 
means "Short" or "Small", depending upon what vendor's list you look at.  The 
original 12, 14 and 16 shells were shortened not too long after the series 
first appeared, and 12S, 14S and 16S became the standard or preferred shell 
in that size.
