Dave... Saw your followups... Awesome work! Did you ever convert the final
stud length measurements into inches or centimeters? I'm curious what accuracy
is needed (in terms of significant digits) in order to accurately (within, say,
1/10 inch) state the track length of a layout on the order of 2,000 feet. Is
that level of accuracy possible?
