String length

[Stéphane Collin]

Hi Ric

I tought of a cheaper solution.
When I get my super Mitutoyo multi anvil micrometer, and when I will be able to measure diameters up to hundredth of a millimeter, I will pull the strings up until they break, recording accurately which frequency the string reached just before breaking.  Putting the announced breaking tension of steel wire into the equation, I will be able to measure the string length for the cost of approximately 30 cm to 4 m of that wire.
But then again, my original wire is shot.

| You can buy one of those Analytical Refracted Sonar Extractors,  A.R.S.E,  for lots and lots of money.... or you can do what many of us in the buisness do.... use some form of tape measure !!
