Slam-bam! You are too fast, Rob! My edit for self preservation was only 30-seconds delayed. At most.

Edit: On a similar vein, has anyone confirmed Derek's German admission?

If the ruler is one sided, as many are, i.e. calibration on one side, I put this down on the stone.

This leaves units visible for projection.

The top side wears.
