<p class=MsoNormal>Just picked up on something concerning me…<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Entry #6584 for “Solarban 60 Clr/Arg/Clr 3”
lists a Visible Transmittance (T<sub>VIS</sub>) of 0.45.  When I select
this entry within eQuest, eQuest tells me it has VT = 0.72 (which notably
matches the Solarban literature).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>This is throwing me off a bit… I thought VT and T<sub>VIS</sub>
are the same thing…  If not, what is the difference and which should
we be using to determine the percentage of light within the visible spectrum
that transmits through glass?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Is this possibly just a typo in the DOE2 Glass library (as
accessed through eQuest)?<o:p></o:p></p>
