TITLE HERE, (when I figure out what it will be)

So you have in hand a photograph of an asset you just have to have for your route. But as good as the photo is, there is a small problem: you don't have any dimensions to use. As it happens, there are certain dimensions that are standard enough that they can be used as a starting point to at least estimate other dimensions.
