The reason for the caution in the last remark is thatif face No. 4 is worked from No. 3, it is likely to have an* accumulated error. It should be taken for granted that no real work is exact, we cannot realize the ideal dimensions. What we call*accurate is only a close approximation. While we shouldmm at absolute accuracy, we must never assume that we havereached it; accordingly, as No. 3 is based upon No. 1 or No. 2
