O.K. so why not buy a metric only tape measure instead ? Except that all
the metric only tapes only have the scale on only the one edge - again the
bottom edge which is most inconvenient. They compensate for not giving the
you the imperial scale at the top by giving you bigger numbers. Basically
the metric only tape is the combination tape with the imperial scale
removed from the top edge of the printing plate.

Fisco do metric only, with scales both edges, eg the Big T

Thanks for that. I checked the Buck and Ryan website earlier and only checked
the Big T which seemed a bit unclear\doubtful, but on checking the Fisco Unimatic
just now it clearly does have markings on both edges.

So thanks again.

I think most of their tapes are availaible in either format, give them
a call and find who has bought m/m stock of the one you want in the
last few months - and hope someone has!
