If you take a 6/4 instrument and put larger bore rotary valves on it, it becomes a 5/4, like R.M.
The fractions are stupid and meaningless.
Far more accurate is
small
medium
large
extra large
extremely large
perhaps with "top-action/front-action" / "3V/4V/5V/6V" / and "piston/rotary" after
the verbal size designation
