    There are very precise mechanical measuring devices. They are a lot more expensive than modern electronic ones though.

    Cheap does not mean it is good. Without calibration, measuring instruments are pretty useless.

    I watched that movie "Wind" that you mentioned. Nice movie. I'll definitely take a long rod and go to the river.
