My google fu is weak. Does anyone know where to find a chart that gives the diameter or radius in mm or inches for each 'sweep' for carving gouges?

My bookmarks are so disorganized I can't get to things that I know I have saved in the past ...
However, I was able to come across this article written by Don McConnell:

If a picture of each sweep and size will help, TFFW includes a chart in a pamphlet:

That's without measurements. So maybe the opposite of what you're looking for.

As you can see, it's not considered important what the radius is. I guess a guy could make a quick vertical cut in a surface and work out with a compass. What do you need to know for?
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.
