FROM THE TOP OF THE BREAST TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD IS ONE-SIXTH OF A MAN'S HEIGHT
FROM THE NIPPLES TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD IS ONE-FOURTH OF A MAN'S HEIGHT
THE WIDTH OF THE SHOULDERS IS ONE-FOURTH OF A MAN'S HEIGHT
THE LENGTH OF THE HAND IS ONE-TENTH OF A MAN'S HEIGHT
THE MAN'S HEAD IS DIVIDED INTO THIRDS.
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CHIN TO THE NOSE IS ONE-THIRD

FROM THE EYEBROWS TO THE TIP OF THE NOSE IS ONE-THIRD
A MAN'S EAR IS THE LENGTH OF A MAN'S NOSE
A MAN'S EAR IS ONE-THIRD THE LENGTH OF HIS HEAD
