Milepost distances and track chart notations were shown with two decimal places such as M.P. 123.45.  
If you were using the metric system (kilometres) that’s easy to calculate with 1000 metres to the kilometre and tape measures marked accordingly, so 0.01 km equals 10 metres. With imperial measurements, 0.01 of a mile equals 17.6 yards (17 yards 1 foot and 9.6 inches, or 52.8 feet) – a bit hard to measure.

Was the M.P. value a genuine decimal figure? If so, how was it physically measured?
