- Problems/Questions
- Problem: the length measurement is written as "1.40", however, judging from both the illustration with scale 1:10, and with the width measurement at 22, I don't think it is possible that the length is 1.4 cm - did they accidently put a decimal in the wrong place? is it 1.4 meters?
