Does anybody know the exact size of Gutenberg's B42's x-height? I would like to cut a B42 punch and I need to know its size. I remember reading about it somewhere but now I can't find this information in any of the type history books I have at home. Googling is not helping either.
Thanks in advance.

Have no original at hand, but a thorough facsimile print of a 1900 book edition.
(the print in the background is from the b36.)
