Duckworth Chain width?

[DaGasMan]

I may have missed the information if it is posted here in THECABE, but I'm wondering
what is the width of the correct Baldwin-Duckworth chain? 1/4" or 3/16" wide? It's too
cold outside for me to go out and measure anything today.
I understand the "B-D over USA" is correct and the "Little Ducks" is also correct.
However, is there a difference between the Columbia and Huffman G519 chains?
Thanks guys. You're always spot on.

Hello Pete;
Columbia: B-D USA 3/16-1" 57 link
Huffman: Diamond 3/16-1" 57 link ( noticed on several including ours)

Thank you, my friend. It may explain why the Duckworth chain I tried to use
didn't work too well. I believe it's the 1/4" and it kinda went "chunk, chunk,
chunk" around the chain guide. I switched it back to the Diamond and it's
smooth cycling again. When the weather is warmer, I'll check it out carefully
to confirm my suspicions.

1/4" Duckworth "Little Duckies" on the left. 3/16" Diamond on the right. Appears the thicker
links and rollers give us the extra 1/16". I could feel the difference in diameter and weight of
both, when handling them.
