The first-axis measurement
is
a verti
ca
l Straightness meas
urement
along a vertical
axi
s.
It
will be
s
imilar
to the Straightness measurement along a vertical axis de
sc
ribed in Section
11
, except you
will use
an
Opti
c
al
Square, and the Straightness Reflector will be oriented along a horizontal
axis
rather than along the vertical axi
s.
