I am wondering if we are not getting off topic... I am not sure all these

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!
