EDIT: I just saw your last bongodriver but out of curiosity.....

Where do the following fit into this discussion concerning 'the correct' Altimeter setting:-
Apron 600 feet
Height in feet above AD ( 68 )
AMSL 666 feet
Threshold elevations 517 (21), 586 (03, 11) and 598 (29)

setting:-
Apron 600 feet..........self explanatoryand is basically the datum for setting the altimeter.

Height in feet above AD ( 68 )
AMSL 666 feet".............................these 2 figures are actually just a sort of legend simply explaining that the elevations are above mean sea level and the bracketed figures are heights above aerodrome level, the figures in this case are representative and 666' and (68 )appear on every airport diagram.

Threshold elevations 517 (21), 586 (03, 11) and 598 (29).......these figures are the Thresholds and you don't need to set anything., the bracketed figures in this case are the runways, notice wry 03 and 11 share height then look at the airfield diagram you will see its because they are next to each other.
