## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can you use this to measure pickup height accurately with this when most manufacturers give measurements in 1/64s?**
A: Measurements are shown in inches and millimeters on the card. There is also a conversion table on the back. Google works well for conversions too. Plus it is down to individual preference so I just use the card as a guide so I can find the sweet spot
