Thanks for that.  Yes, we do have that information (of course!), for instance
in the original booklet put out by the CIDA team working in Kenya in the
1970s.
 
The easiest way, though, to find out the answer to this question (and a whole
host of other questions) is to consult Eva Crane's 'Bees and beekeeping;
science, practice and world resources'.  Apart from the Kenya top-bar hive
the dimensions are listed for a number of different TBHs from Africa and
elsewhere.
 
This book's 614 information-packed pages will inform and education for years
and years.  While its price (95 pounds) will amaze, so will the content.  Any
library that is serious about beekeeping needs this book.
 
It is available from IBRA, and autographed copies can be supplied on request.
