from 36’ =

Step above the point where 
the axis of first ascending 
passage passes into it. 
But the axis of the Grand Gallery, the most important line in 
the whole building, having so signally pointed out the importance 
of the lower stone of the leaf, let us examine it also in terms of 
the inches we are led to connect so closely with it. Taking the 
mean of all the measures given, the calculation following shows 
that the cubical contents of that part of the stone not sunk in the 
grooves 
= 15-7 x 41 x 27*7 = 17830*5 British inches. 
17-8 
= 17812*7 Pyramid inches.
