I watched a "disaster" show about a derailment blamed on string lining (assuming the show used the phrase correctly). They said the engine was surging around a curve... and this amplified the "string lining" effect.
A tanker car full of "bad stuff" emptied itself into a local stream... killing all fish over a 20+ mile stretch downstream from the derailment. I think it was in California??? |

2 or more guys on any jobsite better calibrate their tapes... it is done before you start... everybody measures a distance, say 12 inches. The tapes are "calibrated" by bending the hook tab so everyone's tape reads the same so when a finish carpenter asks for a 22 and 7/8ths long board, the cut man's tape reads the same.

You laugh but I bought a plastic stand for a mini fridge that came with a tape measure from China. One inch on that is about 1.5 real inches.
