Yep, no calipers or EDD thermometer gauge necessary ;-)
An old trick for EDD is to thread two spokes at opposite sides of the rim, hook the elbows in the center of the wheel, and add enough tension to hold the assembly. Measure the distance to the end of each nipple, then add 2x the length of the nipple length to the screw slot.
