Clearly the unit was designed to be convinient for metric only.
Metric is confusing only if you want it to be IMO.
And it only works out at all cleanly because the inch was redefined to be 25.4 mm at some point in time. It used to be slightly different (the US and UK versions being slightly on either side of 25.4 mm).
Would really like to know where this information comes from - - do you have any references? Regards Dee
