Extract

A few years ago I tried making a model of an object from its photograph. Realising that, of course, one could not take direct measurements from the photograph, I had to try to guess the relative dimensions of the object. I ended up, unfortunately, with a model which did not seem to be in the correct proportions. Would it have been possible, I wondered, to find the precise ratios of the different lengths?
