Measurements

[brad]

Afternoon all,

Well I'm back at Building the Rebel after a brief break getting the house
ready to sell.

Anyone with kids might enjoy this.
My 14 year old son has been helping me in the shop. I have discovered (too
late) that he has no idea what an inch is or any part there of. Working on a
plane with a metric challenged person (me) and an imperial challenged person
(him)has made for some interesting conversations.

Yes there are 16 of those marks Not ten.

Enjoy,

Brad. (R195)

understand 3/8 - 3/16 etc.

Cheers
Jim

Have you heard the one....

There was a scientific conference in the US recently where someone in the
audience asked a speaker at the end of his talk, "Why is it the US and
Britain still show practically no sign of converting to metric units?" The
speaker replies, "Don't worry, we really are getting there, inch by inch."
