I have some specs for spacebars not present in the wiki. They are not used in any keyboard (AFAIK) but they are available at SP so maybe it might be nice to add them anyway. I have mixed inch/mm specs sorry, but I bet you know how to convert them
Here they are:
DCS 5 units: 3.715" long, 3 fixed mount positions 1 centered, 2 at 1.500" from center
DSA 6 units: 3 mount points. 1 centered, 2 at 40mm from center
DCS 6 units: 3 mount points. 1 centered, 2 at 38mm from center

You can do it with Windows Calculator:

It should come as no surprise that Microsoft's implementation is tedious and clunky. I simply type something like the following into the browser's address bar: "g 1.5 in in mm", and Google will reply, "1.5 inches = 38.1 millimetres". Works for currency conversion too.

Isn't the height of a cap always* one unit, so to convert the width into units: divide the long one by the short one?
*Besides for the occasional strange buggers, like Apple's current arrow and function keys.

In Keyboardish:
DCS 5 units: one center, two 2 units left and right from center.
DCS 6 units: one center, two 2 units left and right from center.
DSA 6 units: one center, two 2.1 units left and right from center.
ps: Windows calculator?
