In the late '60s I worked at Toulouse on the Jaguar when Concorde was being
assembled in the next hangar. Dimensions were a classic fudge; at the behest
of the French all drawings were in metric so we ended up with, for example,
12,7mm or 6.35mm which of course translate to half and a quarter of an inch.
Only on the next generation of aircraft did we go fully metric.
