Just wondered why 'we' call nx3 slopes 33 degree, while TLC on S@H call them 25 degree slopes. Measuring the actual slope I get 25.7 degrees *1]. Doin' the math for the effective slope I get 31.0 degrees *2]. Although both 25 and 33 are a bit off, (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

Have you tried to make the readings with *a roof*? I mean, not an isolated slope - but a number of them in sequence. I figure that you may read an angle closer to 33º if you try it that way. That would be caused by the slight "step" (~1mm) on the (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

Taking a number of roof bricks then measuring would give you the mathematical angle of 31 degrees. I could do a picture if you want....
