[USMA:15132] From the middle of the ear - full and round

[Gene Mechtly]

Pat,

Suppose that "full and round" from the "middle of the ear" is better
approximated by the set of *largest grains* from a large sample (in
the absence of a complete ear from which to select grains) rather than
a random sample which includes "end" grains, what then is your measured
value and standard deviation of the inch, by the ancient definition,
expresses in mm?

Gene.
