Remarks:
For kf qn, see 06-090 in Macadam's DALEX file 2.
The dimensions, design, text content and handwriting of # 4, # 22, and # 24 suggest that the maker of all three is the same and that they were created at the same time. The reason for the need for three different cones remains unclear and requires further investigation.
