Abstract:
A measurement apparatus includes a horizontal plate. The horizontal plate includes a first plate end, a second plate end disposed away from the first plate end in a longitudinal direction, a first plate surface extending between the first plate end and the second plate end, and a second plate surface extending between the first plate end and the second plate end. The second plate surface is disposed away from the first plate surface in a normal direction. A first support member extends from the first plate end longitudinally toward the second plate end and protrudes in a direction normally away from the second plate surface. A second support member extends from the first plate end longitudinally toward the second plate end and protrudes in a direction normally away from the second plate surface. A measurement bar contacts the first support member and the second support member.
