Default Wallpaper confusion

F submitted this idea :
I've been hanging wallpaper for years but this pattern repeat description has
got me beat:
'[the wallpaper] comes in 52cm x 10m rolls. It has a pattern repeat of 61cm
and a half drop'.

What do they mean by '61cm and a half drop'?

The single wall onto which the wallpaper is destined is 3.3m wide by 2.3m
high. Experience says 4 drops per roll so two rolls should do it. Does the
repeat description alter this?

TIA


I would guess at it repeats every 61cm and that that the match point
moves down by half of that (30.5cm) for each length.
