I visited their web side : the idea is excellent and possibly I will buy such "history meter". Now they made the usual error : to assume that all English speaking people use ifp units. The German, French and Spanish versions are only graduated in millimeters. The English one has a (small) scale in inches. Anyway you were right in sending them your excellent message. Louis
