## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it include the string?  If so, how long is the string?  If not, how do you attach the string and what kind of string should I get?**
A: Does not include string. Any small string will work. Cap unscrews, run string through cap, and tie a knot, screw cap back on.

**Q: I'm looking for the length of the bob - top to tip - but the Stanley website does not list the dimensions.  Does anyone have this info?**
A: The plumb bob is approximately 4.5 inches.

**Q: What size string/line is needed? (What size is the hole in the screw cap?) Thanks.**
A: I'm a plumb bob collector and have found that a nylon line of about .040" diameter fits all my bobs.  The bobs in my collection have varying cap hole diameters but the line mentioned works.  Any kind of substantial line will work.  If in use, the yellow or orange colored lines are easy to see through a surveying instrument.  But that's old school tech, nowadays sighting is probably done with sighting heads and optical centers rather than the old way with a line and bob.  Oddly, when I ordered my Stanley 47-973, Amazon sent me a different bob and it wasn't worth my time and trouble to send it back.  I still haven't found one like in the photo although I have found Japanese ones that are similarly made.

**Q: what is the hole in the point for?**
A: Thru hole ensures easy tightening.
