Cliff Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Let me say this... I got a Fastcap flatback tape measure and really like it. I mean, where applicable for such things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 conversion errors? both the international foot (25.4mm=1in exactly) and the US survey foot (1ft=1200/3937m exactly) are defined with precise conversions. I don't know if the ellipsoid datum is involved in surveying, but even back in 1927, the North American NAD27 datum was defined in metres and not feet. So why should there be conversion errors? I currently am in a country where surface land coordinates, and topographic elevations are measured in metres, but sub-surface depths and coordinates are measured in feet because US drilling contractors are often used - that's the kind of system that causes conversion errors! Thanks for the video, H3nry! 'Tis a rather complicated construction, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I have been in several metric countries where soccer pitches are laid out in yards. We do as we must. Conversions will never go away as long as you cook amounts of food to suit the size group you are feeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
