    First measure the finger using a flexible gage made from a strip of
    paper then read the finger size from a standard round ring mandrel
    by slipping the flexible band over it. That is your size next slip
    the flexible paper band over the square mandrel and mark the leading
    edge of the band on the square mandrel, this is your working
    dimension. Anything else will lead to sorrow as there are no
    standardized sizes or mandrels for square rings.
