Measurements were taken today of the NHC north/south wall gap at the location where the NHC/TCS partition wall will be installed (43.375" from the NHC west wall).  A HILTI PD40 laser range meter was used for the measurements.  They were taken at 10", 34", 62", 90", 118", and 142" from the floor which matches the top of each cross-beam.  The results are below:

10" from floor:  102.44"
34" from floor:  102.40"
62" from floor:  102.48"
90"  from floor:  102.63"
118" from floor:  102.28"
142" from floor:  102.24"

Based on these results a partition wall plate width of 102.00" will be used for the bottom two plates, and 102.25" for the upper three plates in order to keep the gap on each side approximately 1/8"
