L/W = 2.000 P/W = 0.450 C/W = 0.196
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.667 P/H = 0.675 C/H = 0.295 Vol./W^3 = 0.543

Addition # 11 - Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 to 2.14 with no changes. This is for very shallow material. It will work well in about any material. Note: P3(G), P4(G) are equal in size. The crown may take a little tweaking to make center point.
