And I still find it faintly obscure that IC pins are spaced at a tenth of an inch....where does that come from?
Older hams this side will recall school exercise books which had all the imperial measurements printed on the back.  Horse racing still deals with furlongs (the length of a furrow...) and cricket pitches are a chain (22yds) "ten chains = one furlong".  Ah, Happy Days!
