Just curious about the concept. This reminds me of, quite simply, a Vernier scale on a set of calipers, for example. Would that, more or less, be what you're explaining?
Although it is tempting, try not to toot your own horn in this thread. While you may have an awesome bot, the real compliment should come from other teams. - Andy Baker [more]
