95% Very good! It's not an easy one to pass.
I did my 18th edition and when I came down the stairs at the end the tutor said " and here comes the top of the class" I actually looked round to see who it was but it was me with

Cheers, it's been a brain fryer of a week but it's a qualification I've wanted for the last 10+ years, just never got round to doing it. To be fair to the older chaps the 2391 of today is easier than it was back in the days of the original one.
Well done on the 18th

1 micron per division, my next best indicator has 1 ten thousandths divisions so for me, metric is now more accurate (or technically precise) .
Nope, and nope. Your metric indicator has finer resolution.

Which would be a more precise reading, wouldn't it?
WD? The crowsfoot is on all mod stuff.

Well, in fairness it probably applies to that very nice instrument but the only thing you really know about it is the resolution. Resolution is the smallest movement it will display. Precision is how closely it repeats it's readings. Accuracy is the difference between the movement shown and the movement made.

It's only about 8 years ago that the length of a metre was standardized & set in stone ..something to do with frequencies & light travelled
IIRC The yard was set a couple of centuries ago and a gold bar was made to the length it was dimensioned when the gold was 60 oF ( the gold standard ?)

The mark of ordnance is above the 94 of the 1944 date stamp
In the late 1970's we were getting brand new still quality, Britool tools with only the makers model number on which was very useful .

Re-standardised
Thought that sounded off.

Really irritating that I can't go into a shop and buy a metric tape measure.Probably using those old imperial years.
Only available hunting online.
I want proper measurements both sides of my tape thanks.
Always get odd looks when I ask in stores.
They seem to breed, i have found five or 6 around the place now I am packing up to move. I can't remember acquiring most of them!!

They are always useful when you have old BMC cars.
A few years ago I got fed up with walking around mini engines, rover 2l, vauxhall 16v and k series lumps. So I made a whole load of racking out of scrap wood and scaffolding tubes, so now they're all around the walls. Still don't have any room...
