How did you do this? With a micrometer!?

This is a good tip, but I would like to know how
this relationship was established in more detail.
Once my curiosity is satisfied, I'll write it up. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say I have a ruler marked in points,
inches, and agate for laying out graphical designs,
but either my eyes are really old or those points are
very small. In either case, I don't think I can make
out 0.283!!
