Measuring ceiling tiles? You have got to be kidding!


The weirdness keeps coming; measuring ceiling tiles for size, squareness, and flatness.

Well, when you think about it, it does make sense, having long rows in the ceiling and when some are out of square or not sitting flat in the grid, it can become irritable to the eye.

M2M measured hundreds of these, producing capability study charts and producing a lot of dust and crumbs in the process of handling these things.
