Re: [NSW}Gradient/Curve diagrams.

Many thanks to all and sundry for the replies.

I've learnt more history (in measuring lengths anyway) in the last two days
than I ever did in school. My respect for those who used multiple different
combinations for measuring/calculating distances/weights etc has jumped
dramatically (and mostly in their head, too!).

Thanks again and all the best to everyone in the group(s) for a Happy
Christmas and a Fantastic New Year.


Ben.
