Handlebar measurements

Can someone tell me how handlebar reach and drop are measured? Width is
measured either c-c or o-o, and it's usually specified.

I'm trying to get measurements for my current handlebar (3TTT Prima
199, 40cm o-o, 26.0), looking to replace it with an OS bar.

Thanks.

Some manufacturers measure the extreme dimension, while others measure
center to center.

I cannot remember who is which in this regard, but I seem to remember
Cinelli being one way, TTT being the other way.

TTT is measured outside to outside.
Cinelli is measured center to center.

OK, now it is coming back to me. I had Cinelli 66-44 bars, and to go
to TTT and have the same width, I needed something with a 46mm
measurement...and I couldn't find one or something.

If you get this backward, you end up missing your mark by 4cm! Ouch.
