Re: ATM Anchor Optical Surplus, Edmunds spin-off?

What the heck do they mean by:
'11 X 39.3 ACHR LENS CTD $14.00 Buy"?
what is the 11? The diameter? In millimeters? Is the 39.3 the focal
length, in mm again?
I think I can figure out "achr" means "achromat"; "lens" means a lens,
so 'achr lens' means an achomatic doublet, and 'ctd' means coated.
So, if this is all the information they give you, then that's not a lot!
