Once the meter was defined with a stick of platinum, that was kept in 
Paris.

So I can refer to this device and use - say - four times this length and 
have a distance of four meters.

These four meters should be the length of the path a laser beam would 
take from wheel A to Wheel B (including some deviations for prisms and 
optics).

This length (of four meters) could be measured by mechanical means with 
sufficient precision and would leave us with an error of say a 1/1000th 
of a millimetre.

This precision is certainly good enough.

No, I leave the production of the machine and the measurement of its 
length to the manufacturer. Modern factories have most likely very 
precise means to measure the length of such a rotor.

> And there are the two different understandings of "owls": Do you include the coordination procedures (time synchs or lengths measurements) as part of the concept of "OWLS" ? If yes, then your setup does not measure OWLS; If no, then it does measure OWLS. Note that your setup is no different from the following: E-sych two clocks located at A and B and measure the distance (these are the coordination procedures). Then just send a light from A to B and measure the Time Of Flight: You thus get the SoL...No chafts, nor gears, wheels rotors etc...

There is no 'time synch' necessary, since the rotor is assumed to be a 
rigid body and is left spinning without a motor acting. The rotor needs 
only one measurement of the rotation frequency and this requires only 
one clock.

The frequency could be measured with that grid or with additional 
markings. Than you only need a certain interval, while you count the 
rotations within the interval.

This is only needed  one time.

The experiment is actually simple:

you spin the rotor faster than needed and let it slow down by friction.

The laser is projected (with a few lenses) to a tiny spot on the rim of 
the first wheel. The reflection from that spot is bundled by some optic 
to a beam and this is sent to the end of the rotor, where a similar 
wheel spins. Then it is projected on that wheel and the reflection from 
there are measure by a detector.

Now the modulation of both grids add to the same amount of light, hence 
we get a dependency (of beam intensity) from angular velocity. The 
minimum is the wanted point. This minimum (of beam intensity) occurs at 
a certain speed and this speed is what we need to measure.

This curve could be stored in the electronics and automatically 
processed to the value of c. (not a very difficult program).
