Her recent absence from Society has been due to a number of majorly lovely projects, including the one above, with before and after pix on her blog. I was involved in some of the measurements and higher mathematics of the project (but not her use of Sphenic Numbers) using various steam-powered approximates to what we probably could have achieved in an instant with the right laser interferometric sextant or astrolabe or whatever. Suffice it to say that small errors in rise can lead to large errors in surface area, the basis of estimation in the decorative painting biz.
