Shrinkage. Significant shrinkage. It’s common knowledge. From: Nate Burke via Af Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2014 4:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Accuracy of on cable foot markings
I was avoiding the much more sinister 'who's going to miss 1% of the cable at that distance' and when you do that with enough cable the beancounters get happy. Like the automakers marketing the new bubbly styling where there is no headroom as 'aerodynamic' but in reality they just get to save x sqft of steel per car by making the dimensions all smaller and rounded, but they still charge the same price.

When I get 1000' spools, they've always been spot on (as far as matching the cable markings) Is this just the discrepancy in the tolerance of the cable markings at that distance?
