I want SAE on both edges of the tape.

SAE?

Society of automotive engineers, what kind of measurement is that?

So... having stopped by the local Ace Hardware to pick up a tape for a
friend, wasn't I surprised to find a basic tape (25' Ace brand) - just
1/16"

Oh! You're talking about feet and inches. You mean /imperial/ units!


Then you have something called "BobsRule" which is in units called "bobs"
(whatever they are):
