Actually, decimal feet is the current standard for surveying in this country. There are tape measures, both short and long ones, that are marked in decimal feet, as well as "Philadelphia" and other types of leveling rods (used with a transit or a builder's level) in decimal feet. Of course, machinists generally use decimal inches. Paul -----Original Message----- From: M R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Hi In a Ford Motor Company's website, the length of a car says 9.8 Feet... We can never use decimals with feet, dozen, hours, years, etc.
