U contradicted your instruction with your speech, you said to measure from the outer corner of 3rd to the apex of home base and it will give you the designated measurement, but when you measured from 1st to 2nd clearly where your assistant places the measuring tape is not the back outer corner of the base… he places on the edge almost at mid base..
