This diagram shows how the 'vertical-align' properties on cells combine to determine the height of the row containing the cells. The diagram also illustrates the meaning of some values of 'vertical-align' that apply to table cells: baseline, top, bottom, and middle. The diagram shows a row of five (labeled) table cells of varying heights and alignments. ... The first cell is aligned with the row baseline and extends to just below the row top. ...

. Measuring/adjusting the secondary/tertiary with videogrammetry: . Place reflectors on each panel of the secondary/tertiary and then take pictures using videogrammetry. Back fit for the camera position and then find the position of each panel (angles only). Adjust each panel by turning the vertical adjustment screws at each panel corner. Iterate the measurement and adjustment. Results: . Secondary panel alignment .5 mm rms . Tertiary panel alignment .4 mm rms next previous
