As I understand it, the measuring tape was supposed to be used to get a rough idea of whether they were at risk of breaking the cylinder. They subtracted a portion from the 54" to account for the circular nature of the cylinder and measured that. If you were close, you'd get pulled to the real circle for a closer inspection.
