Tape measure ?

Who can tell me what the diamonds every 19 3/16" are? I've figured out that they are 5 parts of 8' but beyond that I'm stumped, Thanx

It was an idea that came out in the 80's and never cought on. They used it on a lot of apartments, it saves studs, but still lets plywood break on 8 feet. You stacked joists on top of studs, and the seccond story studs and trusses went right on top of them, often with single top plates. (I have a buddy that ran crews that built a lot of apartments before my time.)

And it is technically 19.2"
