"Deep grooves" were a single, large circular single-groove indentation on the label (not to be confused with an early explanation in Goldmine or a similar record collector's book, which explained it as a depression near the spindle hole about the size of a quarter, LOL!), as it is pictured in earlier posts of this thread.
Even the dimensions of the "deep groove" pressings varied from plant to plant. On pressings by Columbia (not only in Pitman, but also to a degree up to the early 1970's in Terre Haute, IN), the outer diameter was 2.71875", the inner diameter 2.6875", and the radius of the thickness of that deep groove was 0.046875." RCA pressings generally had an outer diameter of 2.8125" and an inner diameter of 2.71875". Sometimes it varied by about 0.015625" diameter upwards.
