Chris Böhnke has submitted a partial tang (48\1-6tang.dat) to the parts tracker. This is interesting in that it expands the tang prims to sweeps other than those divisible by three. Here, I could see also the 48\5-48 and the 48\11-48 be implemented at some point.
Even more interesting is the use of two partial tangs; one in the beginning and one in the end. This would allow the creation of 48\1-12, 48\7-48, and 48\5-24, thus completing the set.
48\1-48 and 48\1-24 are not needed since these can be handled with tndises.
The same kind of thinking could be used for complementing the tangs on the other side.
Picture shows the proposed partial 1-6 tang and a corresponding adapter chord.
