Before you place that order: self measurements

[The Wizard of BC]

I have a depleted uranium Yard/Meter stick certified by the Greenwich Observatory that I calibrate my tape measures to. Our tape measures themselves are 1044 Stainless Steel but after being bent around customers waists for more than a week will be off by .00012", and are therefore completely useless.

Ya' know, when I took Auto CAD (a drafting program) in high school, our teacher, for the final, made me do my measurements out to the ten-thousandths spot.

When a good friend of mine brought up that no one would ever pay for such exact measurements, he stated, "Well, just pretend you're manufacturing for NASA."

Excuse me sir I work for the Office of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, parent department for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). My office is across the street from NIST and I checked with the kilt specification branch, advisors to the fashion police. The standards you mentioned are the minimal acceptable under government regulations.
