As for the descriptions of each shape, care has been taken to strike a balance between simplicity, accuracy, and generality. Stanwell pipe shapes from the 1950s onwards are often drastically distinct from those of traditional European shape charts, which leads to difficulties in finding the appropriate language to describe a given Stanwell pipe. The list is currently undergoing revision in order to standardize the syntax and terminology employed for easier use by readers. To further assist in the identification of Stanwell shapes, visual aids will be included in the list where possible, including pictures of particularly unorthodox shapes within the list. Scans of several Stanwell catalogs are also available to view at the bottom of this page. | As for the descriptions of each shape, care has been taken to strike a balance between simplicity, accuracy, and generality.
