<BLOCKQUOTE cite="" type="cite">...Take a 15cm (6", or narrow enough to get
your calipers on) piece of pinblock, especially a 5 ply, since it'll change
more than a 73 ply. Cycle it slowly between 5%MC, and 10%MC, record the
extremes in dimension, and estimate what some portion of that will do to the
string lengths.</BLOCKQUOTE>
