I was thinking more of the tools used.  Since we were talking about .011 
inches (as opposed to - oh, about 1/64 inch) that implies plus or minus a 
thousandth, which implies doing something other than holding the bridge in 
your hand and measuring with a ruler.  Do you place the bridge on a known 
flat surface and measure with a height gage, for instance?
