I think this whole post got confused :-) No one said a 3390-27 is 30051 cylinders. I said that I would consider making one 30049 cylinders since that equates to 3 3390-9 plus cylinder 0 for a volume label. (3x10016 + 1)
A supposed 'standard' 3390-27 is 32760 cyls -- but past 3390-9 -- it's really arbitrary and can be 'whatever you like'...
