...lines must be straight and the same distance apart within a tolerance of less than one millionth of an inch, and to make an "engine" rule them with this extreme accuracy is fantastically difficult. When measured by these high standards, even massive steel bars seem as flexible as rubber. Thin films of oil are as yielding as deep quicksand. The slightest change of temperature makes the machine change its dimensions and thus rule the lines askew...
