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):

LoREENA Bobbit made up her own rule.

I've been known to use both sides of the tape while measuring. This
board's 61-5/8", that one is 123mm.



I'm getting there.

But what is 0.525mm easier than 3/8" ?
