[[20edo]] (in isolation) is not a particularly harmonically interesting edo, but some of its multiples have high consistency limits (17-odd-limit and higher), and therefore are worthy of being considered in terms of rank-2 temperaments. It's worth noting that [[Degrees]] (discussed elsewhere) is a no-31's [[41-limit]] temperament which serves as a well-temperament of [[80edo]] in the corresponding subgroup, as a 60L 20s MOS is sufficient for finding all its primes.


In the 17-limit, one step of 20edo is extremely close to 88/85, which serves as a period in two of these temperaments – Soviet Ferris wheel and calcium.

Defined as the 320 & 460 temperament, and named because it's a period-20 temperament, and there are 20 cabins on a standard ferris wheel found throughout most of Eastern Europe and Central Asia (as in abandoned Pripyat wheel, for example).

The 5-limit comma is an interval which can also be produced by closing 20 [[375/256]]'s at 11 octaves, tempering this interval to 11\20.
