That’s true I asked something like the RMP would so no reason to think the answer would be in unit fraction. But I understand all those pesky unit fraction would not make it easy to build to a seked of 8 + ½ + 1/3 + 1/22 + 133 as opposed to using something easy like seked 5 ½.

I don’t see how Seked 5.5 and Seked 8 + ½ + 1/3 + 1/22 + 1/33 can be the same Seked.
Also I believe the Seked would apply to the slope of any rise/run.

Well using Petrie’s preferred value for the height of the GP 5776 inches then the slope would be 51.8666 degrees and the slope of seked 5.5 is 51.8428 so close but not exact.

Not even close! Are you sure? In this drawing 5 ½ and 3 1/7 are exactly the same length. Both are 22 units long.

Yes that’s because 22, 5 ½ and 3 1/7 are the same units of a 28 unit system.

4 * 5.5 = 22
7 * 3.1428571 = 22
4 * 7 = 28

The casing would be about 51.86 degrees so 90 - 51.86 = 38.14 degrees. The KC shafts are about 45 degrees and 32.47 degrees so if they wanted the shafts to hit the casing at 90 degrees wouldn’t the two shafts need to be about 38.14 degrees? Also wouldn’t that make for a shorter distance to the casing?
