Well, since the industry std for PCB thickness has been 1/16" since Elvis 
threw away his diaper & learned to drive a truck, its a fair assumption. 
They were 1/16" thick when I was stuffing parts into them to make the two 
cameras that were on the Trieste in Feb 1960 (61? I forget which now) when 
Lt Walsh and Jacques Cousteau went 37,000 deep in the mohole west of the 
Phillipines.  We are getting some thinner stuff today, but the coco was put 
to bed 30 years ago.  And thats the long one. :)
