Ah, Whitworth, UNF... Back when I was maintaining my own cars (autos) I
had amassed a large collection of spanners (wrenches) over time; heck,
even the size of the opening went by different gauges such as AF etc.
To this day I can still remember that a 1/2" crescent (both open and ring)
was needed to undo the bell housing to get to the clutch plate (a rite of
passage in those days)A.
