Above: From 1935 Conn Catalog
According to the brochure above,

A Helleberg had a Moderate cup diameter.
A Geib had a small cup diameter.

A Conn Helleberg is usually around 32.5 mm or smaller. A Conn Geib is usually around 33mm.

Maybe small and moderate had different definitions back in the "good ole days"?
