Where does the 0.07 come from?[edit]

It counts over seven spaces on the 1/20 scale, why 7 spaces? --24.20.133.228 03:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered the same thing myself. The creator really needs to explain the steps. The only explanation I can come up with is that you count over to the first number that lines up with the strokes on the main scale..? 203.213.7.130 09:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

from pl.wiki: "Wynik powinien zawierać mm a jest w cm (na symulacji)"


"you count over to the first number that lines up with the strokes on the main scale" yes, that's correct.

How do you make these images and animations?[edit]

They're quite nice. Is there a particular software or method for making them? I have some diagrams I would like to contribute. But I'm not sure where to begin. Thanks : ) Tjt263 (talk) 17:07, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
