Explain yourself?
All kinds of engineering are required. 'Big hammer' engineering is
just as important as toolmaker 'you need a thou' off that width' -
and you wouldn't pay for the latter to repair your car.
That came later.
And just for you Mark if 1&6/8 was down on the work sheet then who am I to
go to the powers that be and say...this should be 1&3/4"
