Yes, Dan, we measured this with a pair of 48 x 12 toroid.  It worked out to
1.5 * cap of single toroid.  It also worked out the same for a pair of 34.5
x 8 inch toroids.

We took this measurement with toroids elevated on a plastic tube to their
approx height above the floor that would be equal to their operating
position, ie, approx 10 ft.  Outdoors, in the open.
