This is basically the method specified in the Toyota Celica Workshop Manual,
but the two pointers are adjusted to touch the middle of the tyres *in line
with the axle* and those points marked. No maths involved, on the other side
i.e. the car rolled forward half a revolution with the pole set so one pointer
is in the middle of its tyre on its mark again in line with the axle, you just
measure the distance between the other pointer and the middle of its tyre.
That is the toe.

I have done this quite accurately with a long stick, two pencils or
sharpened pieces of rod (preferably about the length of the tire radius),
and a pair of straight pins...
