Hi David,
I think the slashes and decimals went awry!!
Put a slash instead of the period in 1.5" and it becomes 1/2". Notice that
the slash and period are side by side on the keyboard.
Now place a decimal in (127mm) like this, 12.7mm and it works out OK 1 inch
= 25.4mm.
>From a guy who worked in a trade for 25 years that used mm. for
measurements!
Later, Paul A
