Renaissance flute - tenor dimensions

Here is renaissance tenor flute N°3 of Biblioteca Capitolare in Verona, Italy, all dimensions in millimeters and approximated to the next mm for distances, and to the next 0.2 mm for diameters.
It is probably one of the finest playing tenor flutes in existence, due also to the fact that fortunately it is not restored (or at least it was not 20 years ago when I measured it). The flute is in boxwood, and its pitch about A430-435, lowest note d'. For modern pitch the speaking length 544 should be reduced to about 530 and fingerholes moved accordingly.

It is not. It is, as usual with the renaissance flute, a tuning which is a decent compromise between open notes and cross fingered ones. Your lips must do the rest.

Is this in centimeters or millimeters or what ? Can you post a chart in inches? After all us Yanks don't work well in metric measurements!
