This was a great video. It is amazing the accuracy that they are able to achieve. It really goes to show the investment required to do this right. I think they said the place got a $400 million renovation, plus, the investment in engineering to know what the precise measurements need to be. Very impressive.
I wonder if they use the test rig shown to test engines with 100,000 miles, 200,000 miles etc. to see how much wear the engine sees over it's life. I also wonder how long it takes to get out of spec.
