I'm not set to do measurements yet, but I'm getting closer.

2 more photos attached below.

This is what I'm getting set up to do measurements of.

There are 3 input motions. Basically the output magnet is walked around
3 sides of a square or rectangle, the fourth side the "output side", walks itself.

one side is removal... input
next it moves along to the far end while outside the magnetic field...  0 input
against magnetic forces.
next is in insertion... input

In the lower right corner of the drawings (above)....
Written in green letters....

from Position 2....
The output magnet is removed / pulled in the direction of from out of the page
(a near zero input) < 5 grams force
The output magnet is now directly in front of position 2...

How far in front ?  Until it is outside of any significant influence of the magnetic field...

Then it is moved to the right....
This is the zero input Norman6538 was inquiring about...

Now the input magnet is directly in front of position 1...

Insert it back over the magnet array (back into the magnetic field).
(a near zero input) < 5 grams force

Ready for the output stroke....

So then,

1.
Self quote
"How far in front ?  Until it is outside of any significant influence of the magnetic field"
End of the quote

I measure the distance until it is outside of any significant influence of the magnetic
field as being 1 1/4 inches.
2.
How far is the    "? at least a few inches"      from the bottom left section of the drawings.
           I still don't fully know its limitations. In this build the track is 6 and 7/8 inches long.
           However not nearly all of that 6 7/8 distance is available as out put travel.
