I'm sorry but it doesn't add up. Physical measurements don't lie.
I have to admit I was wrong about where I took the measurement because the OD of the plate that moves the sensors is only 1.140".
However even calculating out those numbers in degrees still comes to roughly 2*per mark, 2* in the blank space. So by going from the center of one hash to the center of the next is still roughly 4*.
Again measuring;
1.140" x 3.14 = 3.579
3.579" / 360 degree = .0099" per degree
If indeed each mark were 8* the measurement would be .212 for 45 degrees. (As measure right from the hash marks) whereas 3.579 / 8 (45 degrees) = .447
.447 is 2.09 times that of .212 meaning that Trinity's "8*" is mathematically really 3.8* going from one hash mark to the next.
Hash mark ====== 0*
Blank 2*
Hash mark====== 4*
Blank 6*
Hash mark====== 8*
