Martin, there was certainly a ruling that sliders were shortened in 1906 (the SP of the KLR cap badge in the IWM can be seen to have been shortened and is now c 45mm)
BUT there is no indication what it was shortened from !!! It is only a guess that it might have been like that on the HPCs - ie around 60mm.
Maybe if one found a Brodrick complete with a badge in it we might know !?
When, I have more time I'll get back to you about Leics TF badges etc - though they'll be thoughts rather than facts ! Julian
