Can this be a shifting exercise?

How to measure microscopic print.
I am too busy, why didn't I think to just take a ruler and measure straight from Bates book. Duhhhh.

So; looks like Dr. Bates micro is 1/2 inch plus 2 little lines on ruler;
This is from his 1920 red 1st edition;

   

So if you print this out you will know its printing correct size if it measures this top to bottom.

I think it is micro; says photographic type reduction. See Optometrist Harold M. Peppard's microscopic. It looks smaller by one tiny line on ruler. But we must also consider size of the print;

Here is my ruler;

   

Here's the list of names and showing the size;

   

I still do not know the number of each letter size on the list below but at least this gives the measurement of a page in Dr. Bates book reduced in size to microscopic.

You gave me an idea; To find the size of Diamond type;

Redo in Photoshop by making the sentence-words same amount across as are in bates micro print above but keep size to Diamond. Add more sentences by just copy/paste the top until have as many sentences as Bates micro. from top to bottom.

This might create a reduced page of Diamond and then we can measure it with ruler for size.

Then try other sizes. Any ideas or am I too tired out and this wont work as I think?
