Default Tripod/Camera Screw Thread

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Andy Champ
saying something like:

Most cameras and tripods?even those manufactured and used in countries
which use the metric system exclusively?are built with Whitworth tripod
threading."


So, in the world of photography, there will be a small corner that is,
forever, Britain.
