Odd if its F stops since they are not equa-distance. What would be the reason to have a non linear aperture?

Presumably they are f stops or light volume designations but the numbering systemis non-conventional at least to me. They double in value from step to step as onewould expect f numbers to allow double the amount of light to pass but I don’tremember having seen this particular sequence.
