I do not understand the problem w/measuring w/a 120 " tape.Make a mark where you start & where you end, then start over...then add! It doesn't seem that hard to me? Peace, Wayne
Granted I have not seen this done at a weighoff outside of Kentucky, but they do it very well here!!!

possibly a reason why the plus or minus to charts is not always a true recording.
the scale will tell the tale ----always
