As a professional in a machine shop, dealing with the finer points of
metals, are you also aware of the Kinnell scale of hardness as applied
to metals in the same fashion as is the Rockwell scale?
I am told it originated when a Scottish engineer accidently dropped a
large casting from a chain hoist, and, when it landed on a sharp object
and dented it, he was heard to exclaim "Ochkinnell".
