Does anyone know where to get one of those granite cubit rulers I have seen many people with for going away gifts? Also any other ideas for great PMEL related going away gifts in the 30-80 dollar range?
Can't help you with the granite cubit, but here are a couple interesting books:
Ideal Metrology In Nature, Art, Religion, & History.
H. G. Wood (1908)
An Important Question In Metrology
Charles Totten (1884)
NCSLI used to sell them in their store.....
VELASCO how the hell are you doing. Its Todd Patterson form Edwards.
I thought the cubit was a unit of measure from the end of your fingers to your elbow?
