Notes on volumetric localization 2010-08-07 mM1 The measured bottom elevation (9091) exceeds the top (9090), which is impossible. The bottom elevation of f63, which covers f70, is 9090 and also the starting elevation of the first q-lot 240 is 9090, while the top elevation of f128, which is covered by f70, is 9051. Therefore I conclude that the top elevation of f70 is correct, while the bottom should be about 9051. [Input: U807MM1.j]
