We want to give the alignment shop specs in the same format that they use.
If they use "Angle Units," whatever that is, then we'd give it to them that

It looks from printouts from prior alignments the specs are expressed as in
the following "1.20 degrees." Would you take it, then, that this means "One
degree plus 1/5th of a degree?"

What is an "angle unit"?
