In trying to mathematically recreate the node positions in an alto saxophone neck as shown by Ernest Ferron in his book "The Saxophone is my Voice" I discovered that Ferron made a mistake by dividing the distance between nodes by 3 to determine their relative positions.
If anyone is interested, the results of my study can be found at this link:

Since there are those in the music industry who have copied the illustrations of the neck node positions from Ferron's book and distributed them in the saxophone community as though they were accurate scientific information, I feel it is important to make the correct information available.
