zeus BB axle marking

hi,

i have a zeus spindle with the marking 109 x 55. does anyone know what the 55 stands for? i think that 55mm is the distance between the bearing shoulders.

is this for 68mm BB shells? are the spindles marked 57 for 70mm?

thanks,

Bikes: 1986 Alan Record Carbonio, 1985 Vitus Plus Carbone 7, 1984 Peugeot PSV, 1972 Line Seeker, 1986(est.) Medici Aerodynamic (Project), 1985(est.) Peugeot PY10FC

Specailly narrow BB shell width in mm (for track maybe)?? I don't know what will be the use of marking out the axle race width as everything seems to be designed with BB shell width as a basis.

if anyone is interested, a look in sutherland's at the bottom bracket chapter/spindles confirmed my guess.
