How to read the values

  • measured

    Taken with a tape, scale or stopwatch on this machine.

  • estimated

    A best figure, not weighed or measured. Always written with "about".

  • unmeasured

    Never recorded. Shown as a gap on purpose, not guessed.

The 2026 build is being measured as it goes, so every row on its page should read measured.
