The really bizarre fact is that our Congress adopted Metric as the US "Standard" system of weights and measures in the 1800's but they failed to pass a law requiring its use.
Ron (been converting between the systems all my life and not loving it) AC7AC -----Original Message----- ...Sorry for those in "Metric Land" who do not understand the US hardware system. We tried to go metric many years ago and failed. Most of the auto industry is now metric, but for small hardware, the US sizes predominate here. We have to keep two sets of wrenches if we are to have a complete set. 73, Don W3FPR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
