20edo is not a particularly harmonically interesting EDO, but some of its multiples have high consistency limits (17-limit and higher), and therefore are worthy of being considered in terms of rank-2 temperaments.

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.

Soviet Ferris wheel

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).

Calcium

A highly precise and high-limit 2000 & 2460 temperament, named after the 20th element following the convention of naming some fractional-octave temperaments after chemical elements.
