They don't make light like they used to, and lines, particularly vernier lines, have gotten much farther away. The universe is expanding, and we're becoming less substantial all the time.? ? For scaling, I use this snap gage. Someone used to sell these, but by the time I decided I wanted one, I couldn't find them any more, so I stole the idea and made this. I find it accurate enough, and it'll reach anywhere I need it to, giving a quick reading I can see. For what it's worth.? ?
