4 HP are not sufficient for the A-100 standard potentiometers as the
distance from terminal to terminal is about 19 mm and we need some addition
for the solder points (at least 1 mm on each side). This leads to about 21
mm but 4 HP are 20 mm only. The only solution would the usage of other
potentiometers or manual wiring. We try to avoid manual wiring whenever it's
possible as it is an additional malfunction source and increases the
assembly charges. Maybe the type of vertical potentiometers used e.g. in the
A-107 is a solution. I'll have to look at the dimensions of this
potentiometer.

But we will introduce 6 HP front panels (e.g. for the switched multiples or
the precision adder). 6 HP would be sufficient in any case.
