I'm sure there are others, but the list above will do

Thank you, William. In the future, if I ever need to machine
something in my home shop to within one one-millionth of an inch, I
will remember that I will not be able to do the job by hand. Let's
see now, where did I put that manual boring bar! ;-)

I have no problem at all machining to millionths: It's the ending up
with so many too many or too few that gets me in trouble.

Lessee now, this piece is 9 thousand millionths too small. Darn!
