All - I've been trying to track down a paper (or papers) where it was
shown that the epsilon values (symmetry factors) for space groups with
pure rotation axes are not integers as is usually assumed (but still
integers for screw axes).  It's almost certainly in Acta Cryst.,
probably in the 60's or 70's and I think it was by Main and/or Woolfson
and/or Rogers (but I could be completely wrong about that part), and it
might just be in an Appendix.  I tried the obvious searches on the IUCr
website with no luck (I was rather surprised to find that searching for
'symmetry' or 'space group' by 'Main' and/or 'Woolfson' yielded no hits
- I find that very hard to believe!).  If anyone knows the reference I'd
be eternally grateful!

Cheers

-- Ian
