🔭 Every instrument they make is calibrated to the same point. Nobody knows where that point is.

PARALLAX MERIDIAN CORPORATION. Founded 1947. Reykjavik. Instruments of measurement.

Their theodolites are in 61 countries. Their atmospheric probes go up. Their Reference Unit Model 0 does something. The paperwork does not say what.

The 1974 parliamentary inquiry exists. Exhibit C does not — it was redacted before the inquiry began.

Every instrument they have ever manufactured is calibrated to the same fixed reference point.

The location of that reference point has never been disclosed.
