This is 12 cm, just about 3/100 under 4.75 inches.  I'd measure mine, but it's
getting dark here in Minnesota, and the mosquitos as a group have a lot of
lifting power.  I don't want to disappear.

Looks like you could put it through a hole in the current one.  Best of both
worlds, except for the weight on the crank up mechanism.
